INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Quirk

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 4614.13 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to community facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1052, as introduced, Quirk. Community facilities: district
formation.
   The Community Facilities Law of 1911 authorizes districts to be
formed for purposes of making any improvement that will be of benefit
to territory partially within the initiating city and partially
within any other city or within an unincorporated area of the same
county, or both. Existing law authorizes the initiating city to call
and hold bond elections. The law requires the governing body of the
initiating city on or before July 15 of each year, if bonds are
authorized, as provided, to certify, to the board of supervisors of
the county in which the district is located, the amount to be raised
for the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds.
   This bill would change the date by which the governing body is
required to provide certification to the board of supervisors to on
or before July 16 of each year.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 4614.13 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   4614.13.  If bonds are authorized and are issued or are expected
to be issued on behalf of  any   a 
district  which   that  is organized
pursuant to this article, the governing body of the initiating city
shall, on or before the  15th   16th  day
of July of each year, certify to the board of supervisors of the
county in which the district is located, the amount to be raised for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds in
accordance with Section 4638 and, if applicable, Section 4639.5. The
county auditor shall determine the rate of taxation  which
  that  shall be clearly sufficient to raise
 such  the  amount. The county auditor
shall compute and enter in a separate column in the county assessment
roll the respective sums to be paid as the district tax on the
taxable property in the district. The board of supervisors of the
county in which the district is located shall, at the time of fixing
the general county tax levy and in the manner  which
  that  is provided for  such 
 the  tax levy, levy and collect each year upon all of the
taxable property in the district a tax in accordance with Section
4638 and, if applicable, Section 4639.5. The levied  taxes
 so levied  shall be in addition to all other taxes
levied for county or city purposes  and in addition to taxes
levied pursuant to Section 4614.14  and shall be collected
at the same time and in the same manner as county taxes are
collected. When  such   the  taxes are
collected they shall be paid to the county treasurer who shall
forthwith remit them to the city treasurer of the initiating city.
The taxes are a lien on all taxable property in the district and
shall be of the same force and effect as the lien for county taxes.
Their collection shall be enforced by the same means as provided for
the enforcement of the lien of county taxes. The city treasurer of
the initiating city shall hold  such   the 
taxes in trust, separate and apart from all other city funds and use
and apply them solely to the payment of bond principal and interest.
