February 20, 2013


An act to amend Sections 53890, 53891, and 53892 of, and to repeal Sections 12463.3 and 53895.5 of, the Government Code, and to repeal Sections 33080, 33080.1, 33080.2, 33080.3, 33080.4, 33080.5, 33080.6, and 33080.7 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 569, as amended, Chau. Redevelopment: reports.

Existing law requires the Controller to compile and publish annually reports of the financial transactions of each community redevelopment agency, as provided.

This bill would eliminate that requirement.

Existing law requires the officer of each local agency, who has charge of the financial records of the agency, to furnish to the Controller a report of all the financial transactions of the local agency during the next preceding fiscal year within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year, as specified. Existing law defines local agency, for purposes of these financial reports, to mean any city, county, district, and specified community redevelopment agencies.

This bill would exclude community redevelopment agencies from the definition of local agency, thereby eliminating the requirement that a community redevelopment agency furnish the Controller with the financial report. This bill would make related, conforming changes.

Existing law requires each redevelopment agency to submit the final report of any audit undertaken by any other local, state, or federal government entity to its legislative body and to additionally present an annual report to the legislative body containing specified information. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to compile and publish reports of the activities of redevelopment agencies, as provided.

This bill would repeal those provisions, and would repeal related provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
