	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 977, as amended, Hollingsworth. Redevelopment: Redevelopment
Agency of the County of Riverside.
   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  (1)
 specified former agency territory now within the geographic
boundaries of the City of Menifee or the City of Wildomar  and
(2) specified territory within an island of unincorporated territory
that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by the City of Indio
 . The bill would also authorize the agency to apply specified
housing units within that territory toward specified low- or
moderate-income housing obligations of the agency.
   This bill would apply its provisions retroactively and
prospectively to the above-described former agency territory.
   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.
   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, the
territorial jurisdiction of the Redevelopment Agency of the County of
Riverside shall include any former agency territory now
within   all of the following: 
    (1)     Former agency territory within
 the geographic boundaries of the City of Menifee or the City of
Wildomar with respect to which the agency, prior to the
incorporation of the applicable city,  (1)   (A)
 entered into a binding agreement with a third party in
furtherance of the purposes set forth in Section 33334.2 and 
(2)   (B)  acquired land or otherwise expended
money from its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund established
pursuant to Section 33334.3. 
   (2) Territory currently within an island of unincorporated
territory that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by the City
of Indio, after the city's annexation of that territory, with respect
to which the agency, prior to that annexation, (A) entered into a
binding agreement with a third party in furtherance of the purposes
set forth in Section 33334.2 and (B) acquired land or otherwise
expended money from its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
established pursuant to Section 33334.3. 
   (b) This section shall apply retroactively and prospectively to
the territory specified in subdivision (a).
    (c) The agency may apply towards its obligations under
subdivision (b) of Section 33413 units described in clause (ii) of
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 33413
that are located within the territory specified in subdivision (a).
  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  (1)  former agency territory now within the
geographic boundaries of the City of Menifee or the City of Wildomar
 and (2) territory within an island of unincorporated territory
that is surrounded or substantially surrounded   by the City
of Indio  .
