           SUMMARY  

          This bill enacts the "Local Government Omnibus Act of 2009",  
          making 39 mostly administrative and technical changes to the  
          state laws affecting local agencies' powers and duties. Examples  
          of such changes are:

            property tax exchange agreement for city annexations from  
            January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2015.

          2)Increases in various revolving fund limits to reflect  
            inflation.

          3)Updating of language concerning the calculation of local  
            appropriations limits.

          4)Corrections of outdated cross-references and removal of  
            obsolete references to reporting requirements, municipal  
            financing districts, and other entities in existing law.

           FISCAL EFFECT 

          No significant state costs or savings.

          planning and development.  The purpose of this bill is to  
          combine several of these minor topics into an annual "omnibus  
          bill," thereby avoiding the expense of numerous individual  
          measures.
