	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Brough

                        JANUARY 14, 2016

   An act to add Section 53343.2 to the Government Code, relating to
local government.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1666, as introduced, Brough. Community facilities districts:
reports.
   The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 authorizes the
formation of a community facilities district to finance various
services. The act requires a community facilities district formed
after January 1, 1992, to prepare, if requested by a person who
resides in or owns property in the district and within 120 days after
the last day of each fiscal year, a separate document titled an
"Annual Report."
   This bill would require the legislative body to post, on its
Internet Web site, information relating to bonded indebtedness
incurred by the district, projects funded by, or that may be funded
by, the district, expenses and costs of the district, and special
taxes imposed by the district, as specified. By increasing the duties
of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
