   An act to amend Section 33684 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to redevelopment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 530, Dutton. Redevelopment: payments to taxing entities.
   Existing law requires a redevelopment agency to make specified
payments of property tax increment funds in specified fiscal years to
taxing entities, and requires that these payments be allocated among
these entities in proportion to the percentage share of property tax
revenues received by these entities in these fiscal years. Existing
law requires, on or before October 1, 2009, each redevelopment agency
to submit a report to the county auditor and to each affected taxing
entity that describes each project area, including its location,
purpose, date established, date or dates amended, and statutory and
contractual passthrough requirements. Existing law requires the
report to include specified information in a specified manner for
each project area. Existing law requires the county auditor to review
each redevelopment agency's report and any other relevant
information to determine whether the county auditor concurs with the
information included in the reports. Existing law requires the
redevelopment agency to make outstanding payments to a local
educational agency, as specified, if the agency's report indicates
outstanding payment obligations to a local educational agency.
   This bill would include under these provisions a redevelopment
plan that was adopted prior to January 1, 1994, but amended after
January 1, 1994, to increase the limitation on the number of dollars
to be allocated to the redevelopment agency or that increased, or
eliminated, the time limit on the establishing of loans, advances,
and indebtedness, or that lengthened the period during which the
redevelopment plan is effective, as specified. The bill also would
declare that the changes to these provisions do not constitute a
change in, but are declaratory of, existing law.

expenses incurred by the county in performing the services required
by this section.
  SEC. 2.  The amendment of Section 33684 of the Health and Safety
