Good afternoon, and welcome to Assembly Budget Subcommittee five on state administration hearing today. And I just have to share that I got my little coffee, and they wrote, Sharon, you got this queen. So, anyhow, welcome everybody. Today, our hearing will focus on our tax agencies, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, Board of Equalization, and the Franchise Tax Board. This is an in person hearing with all panelists testifying in person.

We will take questions from members of this subcommittee after each panel, and public comment will be taken at the end of each panel. So every panel then will ask those wanting to comment at each panel. If you are unable to attend this hearing in person, you may submit your comments via email to the Assembly Budget Committee at ASM. CA dot gov. All right.

With that, we are going to start on our first panel. And we our first topic is cannabis and tobacco programs. And if we can have our panelists come on up. Welcome to our member, Assembly Member Ward from San Diego. And if you can make sure you please introduce yourself as you make your comment.

Sure. Thank you. Welcome, everybody. K. Sure.

Good afternoon, madam chair and members of the committee. I'm Trista Gonzalez, the director of the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. I'm joined at the table by Jason Mallett, our chief financial officer. I'd just like to provide a brief overview as we get started. In fiscal year twenty twenty four and 2025, the CDTFA administered 42 tax and fee programs that generated just under 98,000,000,000 in revenue, supporting essential public services across California.

Of this amount, more than 30,000,000,000 was distributed to local governments, including counties, cities, and special taxing jurisdictions. Our focus is fair, efficient revenue collection and enforcement activities that protect compliant businesses and the public. We have steadily improved our efficiency by reducing the cost to administer every $100 of revenue from approximately 81¢ in fiscal year twenty nineteen to twenty twenty to sixty five cents in fiscal year 2024 and 2025. This year's proposal strengthened our ability to enforce new laws involving flavored tobacco, intoxicating hemp, and cannabis, and maintain the systems that support California's revenue infrastructure. These resources allow CDTFA to continue removing illegal products from the market, protect our communities, and ensure tax fairness across industries.

We remain committed to modernization, transparency, and responsible administration of these state programs. Jason. Great.

Thank you, Trista. Hi, madam chair and esteemed committee members. My name is Jason Mallett, the CFO of the Department of Tax and Fees. And just to frame a little bit extra on what Trista had said. So our revenues were roughly 98,000,000,000 last year.

Just over 80% of that is sales tax. Another 10% is fuel, and the remaining 10 are the other 41 tax programs. So we'll jump into the BCPs now if
