Section 7704(a) of the Internal Revenue Code shall not apply to an electing 1987 partnership.
(2)
For purposes of this subdivision, the term “electing 1987 partnership” means any publicly traded partnership if all of
the following apply:
(A)
The partnership is an existing partnership (as defined in Section 10211(c)(2) of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1987).
(B)
Section 7704(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has not applied (and without regard to Section 7704(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code would not have applied) to that partnership for all prior taxable years beginning after December 31, 1987, and before January 1, 1998.
(C)
(i)
The partnership has made the election under Section 7704(g)(2)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code for federal tax purposes.
(ii)
The election for federal tax purposes described in clause (i) shall be treated as a binding election and a separate election for state tax purposes shall not be allowed under paragraph (3)
of subdivision (e) of Section 23051.5.
(iii)
The election for federal tax purposes described in clause (i) shall be treated as a binding consent to the application of the tax imposed under paragraph (3) and a separate election for state tax purposes shall not be allowed under paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 23051.5.

(A)
There is hereby imposed for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 1998, on the gross income of each electing 1987 partnership a tax equal to 1 percent of that partnership’s gross income from all sources reportable to this state, taking into account Section 25101 and any election under Section 25110, attributable to the active conduct of trades and businesses by the partnership.
(B)
The tax shall be due and payable on the date the return of the partnership is required to be filed under Section 18633 and shall be paid by the partnership.
