Assemblymember Muratsuchi Applauds Governor Brown’s Decision to Sign Coastal Contribution Check-off Bill

Assemblymember Muratsuchi (D – Torrance) today released the following statement:

“I am pleased that Governor Brown signed my Assembly Bill 754 which helps support coastal conservation, coastal education and outreach programs. AB 754 creates the Protect Our Coast and Oceans tax donation check-off box for the Coastal Commission’s grant programs that support efforts like Adopt-A-Beach.

“This legislation is a step in the right direction to protect our coast without raising taxes by giving taxpayers an opportunity to donate their tax returns to support successful programs and preserve our coasts without impacting the state’s general fund.”

This law becomes effective January 1, 2014.
