SACRAMENTO, CA – Today the Assembly Public Safety Committee voted down Assembly Bill 1708 by Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) to repeal the Sanctuary State law in California that took away the ability of local law enforcement to notify federal authorities about the release of an undocumented immigrant from jail.
The bill died 5-2 on a party line vote.
“The recent mass murder at a church just miles from the Capitol may not have happened if it weren’t for the Sanctuary State, yet today the Legislature chose to keep the disastrous law in place,” Assemblyman Kiley said. “If this unspeakable crime isn’t a wake-up call to our politicians, I don’t know what will be.”
On February 28, 2022, a man who was in the country illegally shot and killed his three daughters and their chaperone at a Sacramento church. Just days before, the gunman had been arrested on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and driving under the influence. The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) asked to be notified about his release from jail, but this never occurred due to prohibitions under California’s Sanctuary State law.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley represents the 6th Assembly District, which includes the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County communities of Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Loomis, Orangevale, Penryn, Rocklin, Roseville, and Sheridan.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
The Personal Income Tax Law and Corporation Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, generally allow various deductions in computing the income that is subject to taxes imposed by those laws, including a deduction for a net operating loss, as specified. Existing law suspends the deduction for a net operating loss, as specified, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2023. Existing law extends the carryover period for a net operating loss that the suspension denies a deduction by a certain number of years depending on the taxable year in which the losses were incurred, including a one-year extension for losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2022.
This bill would reinstate the net operating loss deduction for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and would continue to allow the additional one-year carryover period for a net operating loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and before January 1, 2022.
Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements.
The bill would also state the intent of the Legislature to comply with the additional information requirement for any bill authorizing a new income tax expenditure.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
Assemblyman Kevin Kiley Introduces Bill to Repeal Sanctuary State Law
Press Release
SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) announced he has introduced Assembly Bill 1708 to repeal the Sanctuary State law in California that took away the ability of local law enforcement to notify federal authorities about the release of an undocumented immigrant from jail.
“A few weeks ago our community experienced an unspeakable tragedy that could have been avoided if not for harmful policies passed by the California Legislature,” said Assemblyman Kiley. “My prayers are with the family of the victims, this should never have been allowed to happen. We must repeal the Sanctuary State law immediately to prevent avoidable tragedies like this in the future.”
In 2017, the Legislature passed and Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 54 (De León). This bill prohibited, with limited exceptions, local law enforcement from sharing information regarding the release of undocumented immigrants from jail. In opposition to the bill, the California State Sheriff’s Association wrote:
“Our overarching concern remains that limiting local law enforcement’s ability to communicate and cooperate with federal law enforcement officers endangers public safety…SB 54 would preclude staff in our jails from notifying ICE, at their request, of the pending release of certain wanted, undocumented criminals – including, but not limited to, repeat drunk drivers, misdemeanor hit and run drivers, those who assault peace officers, serial thieves, animal abusers, chronic abusers of dangerous drugs such as methamphetamine and heroin, and known criminal gang members arrested for most misdemeanor crimes.”
On February 28, 2022, a man who was in the country illegally shot and killed his three daughters and their chaperone at a Sacramento church. Just days before, the gunman had been arrested on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and driving under the influence. The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) asked to be notified about his release from jail, but this never occurred due to prohibitions under California’s Sanctuary State law.
