CA SB271

Requires the Franchise Tax Board to furnish lists of resident state tax filers to each federal district court in California upon request for the purpose of expanding jury pools.

Mandates the Franchise Tax Board to enter into data protection agreements with federal district courts that request taxpayer information, requiring safeguards including security questionnaires, confidentiality statements, and 24-hour incident reporting.

Extends misdemeanor penalties under existing law to federal district court employees who disclose taxpayer information for purposes other than expanding jury pools.

Makes resident state tax filer lists an appropriate source for jury selection beginning January 1, 2022, alongside voter registration and Department of Motor Vehicles lists.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for this act as costs result from changes in crime definitions under Section 17556 of the Government Code.
