	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1338, as amended, Roger Hernández. Redevelopment.
   The Community Redevelopment Law authorizes the establishment of
redevelopment agencies in communities to address the effects of
blight, as defined, in blighted areas in those communities known as
project areas. Existing law authorizes an agency to, within a survey
area or for purposes of development, purchase, lease, obtain, or
acquire any real or personal property and to acquire real property by
eminent domain.
   This bill would require, on and after January 1, 2012, an agency
to obtain an appraisal by a qualified independent appraiser to
determine the fair market value of property before an agency acquires
or purchases real property.
