13995.70.  (a) Funding for the commission is a cooperative venture. Because of the benefits that accrue to the state and to its residents by virtue of having the travel and tourism industry participate cooperatively with the state for the purpose of effectively marketing travel and tourism to and within the state, it is the intent of the Legislature that the state shall be responsible for appropriating a minimum of seven million three hundred thousand dollars ($7,300,000) each fiscal year for travel and tourism, and the industry shall be responsible for targeting the level of assessments for each fiscal year at the amount determined to be appropriate by the commission and approved by referendum. However, that assessment level shall ultimately reach at least twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000). The industry may terminate the commission by referendum at any time, including during the initial four years, if the state fails to appropriate seven million three hundred thousand dollars ($7,300,000) in any fiscal year, and the state may decide not to appropriate funding in the event that the commission fails in any fiscal year to target its annual assessment level at or above the level set for the initial referendum. Termination of the commission by the industry shall require an adopted resolution of the commission to either include this issue in a regularly scheduled referendum, or to call a special referendum to decide the issue.(b) The assessed funds shall be audited annually.(c) The assessed funds shall be under the control of the commission, which shall spend the funds consistent with commission policies and the tourism marketing plan. The state shall have no interest in the fund except the general state interest that the state has in nonprofit corporations.(Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 229, Sec. 1.5. Effective January 1, 2004.)

If, however, collections from the payment of established assessments are sufficient to so warrant, the director shall authorize the repayment of contributions, or authorize the application of the contributions to the assessment obligations of persons that made the contributions.(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 352, Sec. 276.

13995.77.  A business is exempt from the assessments provided for in this chapter if any of the following apply:(a) The business is a travel agency or tour operator that derives less than 20 percent of its gross revenue annually from travel and tourism occurring within the state.

For purposes of this section, “small business” means a business location with less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) in total California gross annual revenue from all sources. This threshold amount may be lowered, but never to less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), by means of a referendum conducted pursuant to Section 13995.60; however, the director may elect to forgo assessing a business for which the expense incurred in collecting the assessment is not commensurate with the assessment that would be collected.(c) The assessments provided for in this chapter shall not apply to the revenue of regular route intrastate and interstate bus service: provided, however, that this subdivision shall not be deemed to exclude any revenue derived from bus service that is of a type that requires authority, whether in the form of a certificate of public convenience and necessity, or a permit, to operate as a charter-party carrier of passengers pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 5351) of Division 2 of the Public Utilities Code.(d) Any business exempted pursuant to this section may enter into a contract for voluntary assessments pursuant to Section 13995.49.(Amended by Stats. 2013, Ch. 352, Sec. 278.
