Dear Windy,
What will AB 700 do? INVEST IN THE ARTS AND CALIFORNIA'S COMMUNITIES

- Transfers 20% of sales tax collected on specific arts-related lines of business, identified by two Board of Equalization (BOE) categories to the CICRF
- Authorizes local assistance program grants for organizational support
- Encourages joint partnerships between applicants
- Provides oversight by the state Legislature
- The California Arts Council administers grants program and allocates funds from the CICRF. (The BOE predicts AB 700 will generate $30+ million annually.)
