statistical districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 143, Runner  Statistical districts: Antelope Valley.
   Existing law requires any state agency or department that develops
and maintains data and statistics on the municipal level to make a
separate breakdown of the San Fernando Valley, as described, in the
preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses by city, and
authorizes state agencies to require the City of Los Angeles to
provide all necessary data.
   This bill would similarly require the Employment Development
Department and the Department of Finance to make a separate breakdown
on the Antelope Valley, as described, in the preparation and
maintenance of any statistical analyses and data by county and would
encourage the Counties of Kern and Los Angeles to voluntarily provide
data to those state agencies.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 11093.5 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   11093.5.  (a) (1) The Employment Development Department shall, in
the preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses and data,
by county, either by population, fiscal, or other bases, make a
separate breakdown of the Antelope Valley using the boundaries
described in subdivision (b). The statistical analyses and data shall
include, but is not limited to, the following: wages, consumer price
index, prevailing wage, unemployment, occupational wages, and median
income.
   (2) The Department of Finance shall, in the preparation and
maintenance of any statistical analyses and data, by county, either
by population, fiscal, or other bases, make a separate breakdown of
the Antelope Valley using the boundaries described in subdivision
(b). The department shall provide statistical analyses and data from
any additional information it receives from the cities and counties
that are affected by this section and the information it receives
through the census.
   (3) If the use of a tax area code is required in order to comply
with paragraphs (1) and (2), an alternate method shall be used to
determine the separate breakdown of the Antelope Valley. An alternate
method shall include the sum of the taxable sales attributable to
all of the incorporated cities in the Antelope Valley and the taxable
sales attributable to the unincorporated areas of the Counties of
Kern and Los Angeles that are part of the Antelope Valley.
   (b) For purposes of this section, the Antelope Valley is the
census tracts or ZIP Codes that are closely bounded by the base of
the Tehachapi Mountains moving southwesterly to Interstate Highway 5,
down the base of the San Gabriel Mountains moving southeasterly to
the San Bernardino County line, follow the San Bernardino County line
north, to the northern line of California City, then west to the
base of the Tehachapi Mountains.
   (c) The Legislature encourages the Counties of Kern and Los
Angeles to voluntarily provide data for the purposes of this section.
