If payment is compulsory, it is a tax. The attempt to masquerade as a charity is laughable.
California could argue that payment to this Cal-Charity isn't compulsory. Residents of California would be free to pay state income tax with the new tax deduction limits. Or they could contribute to this bogus charity, collect a partial credit on their state tax and write the contribution off on their federal tax as a charitable contribution.

If there is no option NOT to pay either one, then it is a tax under a different name. I doubt if the IRS will allow it.
