Frequently asked questions

What does SB 30 do?

Existing law suspends various activities of redevelopment agencies, including, among other things, refunding, restructuring, or refinancing indebtedness or obligations that existed prior to January 1, 2011, or amending or modifying existing agreements, obligations, or commitments with any entity for any purpose. Existing law authorizes a redevelopment agency to issue Emergency Refunding Bonds in specified circumstances, including, among others, when it is the only means available to the agency to avoid a default on outstanding agency bonds. Existing law also dissolves redevelopment agencies and community development agencies, as of October 1, 2011, and designates successor agencies, as defined. The bill would, notwithstanding these restrictions, authorize a redevelopment agency, for purposes of certain bonds secured with a credit enhancement issued by a 3rd-party credit provider, to seek an extension of the credit enhancement or to modify or amend the terms of existing agreements with the credit provider to avoid or delay the incurrence of certain types of reimbursement obligations. This bill would also authorize a redevelopment agency to issue Emergency Refunding Bonds in specified situations relating to lines of credit obtained from a financial institution. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
