INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Linder

                        FEBRUARY 16, 2016

   An act to amend Section 56770 of the Government Code, relating to
local government.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2032, as introduced, Linder. Change of organization: cities:
disincorporation.
   Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act of 2000, provides the authority and procedure for
the initiation, conduct, and completion of changes of organization
and reorganization for cities and districts. The act prohibits the
local area formation commission from approving or conditionally
approving any proposal that includes a disincorporation of a city
unless the commission determines, among other things, that the
disincorporation is consistent with the intent of the act, the
disincorporation will address necessary changes to spheres of
influence of affected agencies, and the service responsibilities of
the city proposed for disincorporation have been assigned.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision.
   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 56770 of the Government Code is amended to
read:

this division to provide for a sustainable system for the delivery
of services.
   (b) The commission has considered the service reviews of municipal
services and spheres of influence of the affected local agencies,
and the disincorporation will address the necessary changes to those
spheres of influence, if any.
   (c) It has reviewed the comprehensive fiscal analysis prepared
pursuant to Section 56804.
   (d) It has reviewed the executive officer's report and
