Ms. Swanson,

Please note that, pursuant to the Taxpayer Transparency and Fairness Act of 2017, the statutory duties of the former Board of Equalization have been moved to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Thus, instead of the Board of Equalization, this agency is now referred to as "CDTFA".

In your letter dated November 20, 2017, received by the CDTFA's Disclosure Office on November 28, 2017, you referenced a Public Records Act request that was submitted on March 10, 2017 for which you have not received a response. Our records do not indicate that we received this request in March 2017. In your letter dated November 20, 2017, you made a request pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code, § 6250, et seq.) for a list of all registered growers and sellers of medical marijuana as of March 6, 2017.

Please be advised that identifying taxpayers specifically by the type of product that they grow/sell discloses the business affairs of a taxpayer by disclosing their source of income. Such information is considered confidential taxpayer information pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code section 7056 and is exempt from disclosure pursuant Government Code section 6254(k).

If you should have any questions in regards to this request, please feel free to contact me at 916-445-1859 or 916-216-3796.

Sincerely,

Karin
