Frequently asked questions

What does AB 46 do?

Existing law provides for the elimination of redevelopment agencies previously established to address the effects of blight, as defined. Existing law establishes successor entities that are responsible for winding down the affairs of the redevelopment agencies, as specified. Existing law establishes a voluntary alternative redevelopment program whereby a redevelopment agency may continue to exist if the city or county takes specified actions, including adopting an ordinance to comply with the requirements of the program. This bill, notwithstanding provisions of law relating to the elimination of redevelopment agencies, would authorize a redevelopment agency to continue in full force and effect with respect to any public improvement project under the jurisdiction of that agency if the public improvement project was initiated by a vote of the agency prior to January 1, 2011, and the agency expended funds for the design, engineering, environmental review, and site acquisition for the public improvement project prior to January 1, 2011, as specified. Existing law provides, for purposes of the adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan that occurred prior to January 1, 2011, or findings or determinations made by the agency or the legislative body prior to January 1, 2011, that an action may be brought to determine the validity of the adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan or the findings or determinations made by the agency or the legislative body within 90 days of those acts. Existing law provides that an action may be brought to determine the validity of those acts within 2 years for purposes of ordinances adopted or findings or determinations made on or after January 1, 2011. This bill would provide that the amendment or adoption of a redevelopment plan or the making of findings or declarations by the agency or legislative that occur on after January 1, 2011, shall be subject to the 90-day time limit for a validating action if the adopted ordinance or the findings or determinations directly relate to a public improvement project under the jurisdiction of that agency if the public improvement project was initiated by a vote of the agency prior to January 1, 2011, and the agency expended funds for the design, engineering, environmental review, and site acquisition for the public improvement project prior to January 1, 2011, 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.
