Summary

(1) Under Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 a local agency formation commission, among other things, approves or disapproves, in whole or part, changes of organization or reorganization, as specified. The act defines a "change of organization" to mean a city incorporation or disincorporation, a district formation or dissolution, an annexation, a consolidation, a merger, or a proposal for the exercise of new or different functions or classes of services, or divestiture of the power to provide particular functions or classes of services, within all or part of the jurisdictional boundaries of a special district. This bill would include within a local agency formation commission's powers the power to approve, disapprove, or approve conditionally, a request by a redevelopment agency to establish, extend, or expand a project area. The bill would include within the definition of "change of organization" a proposal to establish, extend, or expand a project area, and would define the term "project area." By expanding a local agency formation commission's duties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
