INTRODUCED BY   Senator Hollingsworth

                        FEBRUARY 8, 2010

   An act to  amend Section 33000 of   add
Section 33214.7 to  the Health and Safety Code, relating to
redevelopment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 977, as amended, Hollingsworth. Redevelopment. 
   The Community Redevelopment Law provides that the territorial
jurisdiction of a county redevelopment agency is the unincorporated
territory in that county.  
   This bill would require that the territorial jurisdiction of the
Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside include the territory
located outside a project area of the agency, even if that territory
is subsequently annexed to a city or included within the boundaries
of a new city, if the agency meets any of several specified
conditions prior to the effective date of the annexation or
incorporation, unless jurisdiction over that territory is transferred
from the agency to a city, as specified, if the agency meets any of
several specified conditions prior to the effective date of its
annexation or incorporation.  
   This bill would apply its provisions retroactively and
prospectively to unincorporated territory located outside a project
area of the agency.  
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the Redevelopment Agency of
the County of Riverside.  
   The Community Redevelopment Law authorizes the establishment of
redevelopment agencies for the purpose of protecting and promoting
the sound development and redevelopment of blighted areas, as
defined.  
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change in that
law. 
   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 33214.7 is added to the 
 Health and Safety Code   , to read:  
   33214.7.  (a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, subject to
subdivision (b), the territorial jurisdiction of the Redevelopment
Agency of the County of Riverside shall include agency territory
located outside a project area of the agency, even if that territory
is subsequently annexed to a city or included within the boundaries
of a new city, unless jurisdiction over that territory is transferred
from the agency to a city pursuant to Section 33215 or 33216, or an
agreement entered into pursuant to Section 33217.
   (b) The Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside shall
retain jurisdiction over the territory specified in subdivision (a)
if the agency, prior to the effective date of the annexation or
incorporation of that territory, does any of the following:
   (1) Enters into a binding agreement with a third party with
respect to that territory, in furtherance of one or more of the
purposes set forth in Section 33334.2.
   (2) Acquires land or otherwise expends moneys with respect to that
territory from the agency's Low and Moderate Income Fund established
pursuant to Section 33334.3.
   (3) Undertakes an affirmative action in opposition to the
annexation or incorporation of the territory under Section 33215,
33216, or 33217.
   (c) This section shall apply retroactively and prospectively to
any unincorporated territory located outside a project area of the
agency. 
   SEC. 2.    The Legislature finds and declares that a
special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made
applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the
California Constitution because of the unique need to redress
ambiguity as to the nature of returns on investments by the
Redevelopment Agency of the County of Riverside in unincorporated
territories outside a project area.  
  SECTION 1.    Section 33000 of the Health and
Safety Code is amended to read:
   33000.  This part shall be known and may be cited as the Community
Redevelopment Law.
