	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Kehoe

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Section 33080.2 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to redevelopment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 813, as introduced, Kehoe. Local agencies: redevelopment:
annual report.
   Under the Community Redevelopment Law, a redevelopment agency is
required to submit to its legislative body annually any audit
undertaken by another governmental agency, and an annual report, as
specified. Existing law requires the agency to inform the legislative
body of any major violations of the Community Redevelopment Law
based on the independent financial report and that the failure to
correct a major violation may result in the filing of an action by
the Attorney General. Existing law requires the legislative body to
review any report submitted and take any appropriate action on that
report within the first meeting of the legislative body occurring
more than 21 days from the receipt of the report.
   This bill would instead require the legislative body to review any
report submitted and, within 30 days of receiving the audit, adopt a
written response that indicates what action, if any, the agency
intends to take to correct the major violation. The bill would
require the legislative body to send a copy of its written response
to the grand jury.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
