In adopting the provisions of Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code Div. 2, Part 1:
A. Wherever the State of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency, the name of this City shall be substituted therefor. However, the substitution shall not be made when:
1. The word “State” is used as a part of the title of the State Controller, State Treasurer, State Board of Control, State Board of Equalization, State Treasury, or the Constitution of the State of California;
2. The result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or against this City or any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the State Board of Equalization, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this Subchapter;
3. In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to sections referring to the exterior boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be to:
a. Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the State under the provisions of Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code Div. 2, Part 1, or;
b. Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under the said provision of that code.
4. In Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code §§ 6701, 6702 (except in the last sentence thereof), 6711, 6715, 6737, 6797 or 6828.
B. The word “City” shall be substituted for the word “State” in the phrase “retailer engaged in business in this State” in Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 6203 and in the definition of that phrase in § 6203.
