	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 711, as amended, Charles Calderon. Local agency formation
commissions: cost of incorporation proceedings.
   Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act of 2000, authorizes a local agency formation
commission to establish a schedule of fees and costs for proceedings
taken pursuant to that act, including incorporation proceedings. The
act authorizes the local agency formation commission to request a
loan from the General Fund to cover the expenses of incorporation
proceedings under specified circumstances. Under existing law, the
California Main Street Program Fund is created to fund technical
assistance and training for small cities' government, business
organizations, merchants, and property owners in order to accomplish
community and economic revitalization and development of older
central and historic business districts and neighborhoods.
   This bill would  , upon approval and order of the
Department of Finance that sufficient moneys in the fund are
available, appropriate an amount not to exceed  
transfer  $45,000 from the  California Main Street
  Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation  Program
Fund to the  General Fund, and appropriate that amount from the
General Fund to the  Controller for allocation to the Los
Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission for a loan to the
East Los Angeles Residents Association, as specified. The bill would
make findings and declarations regarding the need for a special
statute.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
   
  SECTION 1.    Upon approval and order of the
Department of Finance that sufficient moneys in the fund are
available, an amount not to exceed forty-five thousand dollars
($45,000) is hereby appropriated from the California Main Street
Program 
   SECTION 1.    The sum of forty-five thousand dollars
($45,000) is hereby transferred from the Environmental Enhancement
and Mitigation Program Fund to the General Fund, and is hereby
appropriated from the General  Fund to the Controller for
allocation to the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation
Commission for a loan to the East Los Angeles Residents Association,
pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 56383 of the Government Code.
 Of the amounts that are deposited in the fund as otherwise
required by law, priority shall be given to the appropriation
described in this section. 
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that this act is a
special law that is necessary because a general law cannot be made
applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the
California Constitution because of the unique circumstances of the
Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation Commission and the East Los
Angeles Residents Association. In that respect, the Los Angeles
County Local Agency Formation Commission and the East Los Angeles
Residents Association require this loan to complete incorporation
proceedings.
  SEC. 3.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order for the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation
Commission to grant a loan to the East Los Angeles Residents
Association to complete incorporation proceedings and to meet a
contractual deadline to pay for and start an economic impact study,
it is necessary that this act go into immediate effect.
