THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 6515 of the Government Code is repealed.

   6515.  In addition to other powers, any agency, commission or
board provided for by a joint powers agreement entered into pursuant
to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of this chapter between
an irrigation district and a city, if such entity has the power to
acquire, construct, maintain or operate systems, plants, buildings,
works and other facilities and property for the supplying of water
for domestic, irrigation, sanitation, industrial, fire protection,
recreation or any other public or private uses, may issue revenue
bonds pursuant to the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 (commencing with
Section 54300) to pay the cost and expenses of acquiring,
constructing, improving and financing a project for any or all of
such purposes.
   Upon the entity adopting the resolution referred to in Article 3
(commencing with Section 54380) the irrigation district and the city
shall implement the same by each conducting the election in its own
territory. The proposition authorizing the bonds shall be deemed
adopted if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of all the
voters voting on the proposition within the entity.
   The provisions of this section shall be of no further force and
effect after December 31, 1973, unless the entity is unable to
accomplish the purpose of this section by reason of litigation, in
which case this section shall continue to be effective until the
final determination of such litigation and for one year thereafter.
