Section 3.18.140 of the San Rafael Municipal Code is amended to read: Section 3.18.140. APPLICATION OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO E XC LUS I ONS AND EXEMPTIONS. (a) Section 3.18.120 shall be operative January 1, 1984. (b) Section 3.18.130 shall be operative on the operative date of any act of the Legislature of the State of California which amends Section 7202 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or which repeals and reenacts Section 7202 of the Revenue and Taxation Code to provide an exemption from city sales and use taxes for operators of waterborne vessels in the same, or substantially the same, language as that existing in subdivisions (i)(7) and (i)(8) of Section 7202 as those subdivisions read on October 1, 1983. SECTION 4. This Ordinance is an Urgency Ordinance needed for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety and shall go into effect immediately. The facts constituting such necessity are as follows: This Ordinance relates to taxes for the usual and current expenses of the City. The City has enacted a Uniform Sales and Use Tax Ordinance pursuant to State statute. Con- sistent with the statute, the ordinance contains an exemption for operators of waterborne vessels. Because of the Governor's veto of a bill this past legislative session this exception will no longer be contained in State law on and after January 1, 1984. The State Board of Equalization interpreting the Uniform Sales and Use Tax law has determined that local jurisdictions must conform their sales and use tax ordinances to State law before January 1, 1984. Failure to enact this ordinance could render the process for the collection of all sales and use tax within the City of San Rafael subject to legal challenge. Because there will be no regularly scheduled meeting of the San Rafael City Council before January 1, 1984, this ordinance must be enacted at a special meeting convened for that purpose. LawtthAuh E.
