	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 715, Dickinson. Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency:
assessments.
   Existing law, the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency Act, makes
legislative findings and declarations relating to the establishment
and purposes of the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency. The act
provides that the membership, boundaries, purposes, and governance of
the agency are to be as set forth in a specified joint exercise of
powers agreement. The act grants to the agency the authority to
impose assessments or special taxes, and issue bonds, to finance
projects in accordance with specified laws.
   This bill would authorize the agency to change the boundaries of
an assessment district, a project, an assessment, or an act,
determination, or provision with respect to an assessment district in
accordance with specified procedures. This bill would prohibit the
agency from undertaking any change with respect to any assessment
district while bonds secured by the assessments levied in that
assessment district are outstanding unless the board of the agency
determines in the resolution of intention with respect to the change
that the change will not interfere with the timely retirement of the
bonds.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 119 is added to the Sacramento Area Flood
Control Agency Act (Chapter 510 of the Statutes of 1990), immediately
following Section 118, to read:
   119.  (a) For the purposes of this section, "change" includes
correct, alter, modify, add, omit, increase, decrease, extend, or any
other change.
   (b) At any time the agency may change any of the following:
   (1) The boundaries of an assessment district established pursuant
to this chapter.
   (2) Any project identified in a report pursuant to Section 112.
   (3) Any assessment levied pursuant to this chapter.
   (4) Any act, determination, or provision by the agency or the
board with respect to any assessment district established pursuant to
this chapter.
   (c) Proceedings for any change described in subdivision (b) shall
be initiated, conducted, and completed consistent with Article XIII D
of the California Constitution and the Proposition 218 Omnibus
Implementation Act (Article 4.6 (commencing with Section 53750) of
Chapter 4 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code)
and consistent with the procedures provided in this chapter for the
establishment of an assessment district, except as provided in
subdivisions (d) and (e).
   (d) In proceedings to annex territory to an existing assessment
district, the resolutions, report, notices of hearing, right of
majority protest, and any election shall be limited to the territory
proposed to be annexed.
   (e) In proceedings to detach area from an existing assessment
district or dissolve an existing assessment district, the agency may
dispense with the preparation and approval of the report required by
Section 112.
   (f) The agency shall not undertake any change with respect to any
assessment district while bonds secured by the assessments levied in
that assessment district are outstanding unless the board determines
in the resolution of intention with respect to the change that the
change will not interfere with the timely retirement of the bonds.
