Board of Equalization Districts drawn during the 2020 redistricting cycle. The
Citizens Redistricting Commission for the State of California has created
statewide district maps for the State Assembly, State Senate, State Board of
Equalization, and United States Congress in accordance, with the provisions of
Article XXI of the California Constitution. The Commission has approved the
final maps and certified them to the Secretary of State.</font></p><p><font size='3'>Line drawing criteria included population equality as
required by the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Voting Rights Act, geographic
contiguity, geographic integrity, geographic compactness, and nesting.

<font size='3'>The four Board of Equalization (BOE) districts have a
population larger than most other states in the country. In consideration of
population equality, the Commission chose to limit the population deviation to
under 2%. The BOE is responsible for property tax programs, the alcoholic
beverage tax, the tax on insurers, and the private railroad car tax, including
conducting appraisals and audits of state-assessed public utility companies and
railroad companies, and ensuring statewide uniformity in the assessment of
properties by county assessors. Given this, the Commission recognized the
relevant shared interests included business and economic interests. In
addition, tax revenues are distributed to counties independent of electoral
districts. The Commission’s BOE districts reflect a balancing of multiple
requirements and interests, including maintaining, to the extent practicable,
county, city, neighborhood, and community of interest boundaries. In
particular, because the main mission of the BOE focuses on county tax
assessment, the Commission attempted to keep counties whole in these districts.</font><span style='font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size:12.0pt;'></span></p><p></p><p></p></div>
