In adopting the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code:
(A) Wherever the State of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency, the name of the 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 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 California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this chapter.
(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 Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code; 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 provision of that code.
(4) In Cal. Revenue and Taxation 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 § 6203 and in the definition of that phrase in § 6203. "A retailer engaged in business in the State" shall also include any retailer that, in the preceding calendar year or the current calendar year, has total combined sales of tangible personal property in this state or for delivery in the state by the retailer and all persons related to the retailer that exceeds $500,000. For purposes of this section, a person is related to another person if both persons are related to each other pursuant to 26 USC § 267(b) and the regulations thereunder.
