INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Norby

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 33671 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to redevelopment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1234, as introduced, Norby. Redevelopment: tax increment funds:
payment of indebtedness.
   Existing law authorizes redevelopment agencies to pay the
principal of, and interest on, indebtedness incurred to finance or
refinance redevelopment, from a portion of property tax revenues
diverted from other taxing agencies. The portion of taxes diverted is
the amount attributable to increases in assessed valuation of
property in the redevelopment project area subsequent to
establishment thereof. This method of financing is commonly known as
"tax increment" financing and is specifically authorized by Section
16 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
   Existing law also authorizes a redevelopment agency, in any
redevelopment plan or in the proceedings for the advance of moneys or
the making of loans or the incurring of any indebtedness, to finance
or refinance, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project to
irrevocably pledge its tax increment revenues for the payment of the
principal of, and interest on, these loans, advances, or other
indebtedness.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in those
provisions that authorize a redevelopment agency to pledge its tax
increment revenues for the payment on loans, advances, or other
indebtedness.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
