California Senate Bill SB530 Introduced / Bill

 BILL NUMBER: SB 530INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Dutton FEBRUARY 27, 2009 An act to amend Sections 33607.5, 33607.7, and 33684 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 530, as introduced, Dutton. Redevelopment: payments to taxing entities. Existing law requires a redevelopment agency to make specified payments of property tax increment funds in specified fiscal years to taxing entities, and requires that these payments be allocated among these entities in proportion to the percentage share of property tax revenues received by these entities in these fiscal years. This bill would revise the calculation, as specified, by which specified payments of property tax increment funds in specified fiscal years to taxing entities are allocated among those entities. The bill would include under these provisions a redevelopment plan that was adopted prior to January 1, 1994, but amended after January 1, 1994, to increase the limitation on the number of dollars to be allocated to the redevelopment agency or that increased, or eliminated, the time limit on the establishing of loans, advances, and indebtedness, or that lengthened the period during which the redevelopment plan is effective, as specified. The bill also would declare that the changes to these provisions do not constitute a change in, but are declaratory of, existing law. 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 33607.5 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read: 33607.5. (a) (1) This section shall apply to each redevelopment project area that, pursuant to a redevelopment plan  which   that  contains the provisions required by Section 33670, is either: (A) adopted on or after January 1, 1994, including later amendments to these redevelopment plans; or (B) adopted prior to January 1, 1994, but amended, after January 1, 1994, to include new territory. For plans amended after January 1, 1994, only the tax increments from territory added by the amendment shall be subject to this section. All the amounts calculated pursuant to this section shall be calculated after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6 has been deducted from the total amount of tax increment funds received by the agency in the applicable fiscal year. (2) The payments made pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any amounts the affected taxing entities receive pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670. The payments made pursuant to this section to the affected taxing entities, including the community, shall be allocated among the affected taxing entities, including the community if the community elects to receive payments, in proportion to the percentage share of property taxes each affected taxing entity, including the community, receives during the fiscal year the funds are allocated, which percentage share shall be determined without regard to any amounts allocated to a city, a city and county, or a county pursuant to Sections 97.68 and 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and without regard to any allocation reductions to a city, a city and county, a county, a special district, or a redevelopment agency pursuant to Sections 97.71, 97.72, and 97.73 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 33681.12  and without regard to any revenues that would have been al   located to the county   Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund created pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 97) of Chapter 6 of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. If a community elects not to receive payments or is not entitled to receive payments pursuant to this section, the portion that would otherwise have been calculated for and paid to the community based on the community's proportionate share of property tax revenues shall remain with the   agency  . The agency shall reduce its payments pursuant to this section to an affected taxing entity by any amount the agency has paid, directly or indirectly, pursuant to Section 33445, 33445.5, 33445.6, 33446, or any other provision of law other than this section for, or in connection with, a public facility owned or leased by that affected taxing agency, except: (A) any amounts the agency has paid directly or indirectly pursuant to an agreement with a taxing entity adopted prior to January 1, 1994; or (B) any amounts that are unrelated to the specific project area or amendment governed by this section. The reduction in a payment by an agency to a school district, community college district, or county office of education, or for special education, shall be subtracted only from the amount that otherwise would be available for use by those entities for educational facilities pursuant to paragraph (4). If the amount of the reduction exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been available for use for educational facilities in any one year, the agency shall reduce its payment in more than one year.  For purposes of calculating the allocation of payments made to affected taxing entities pursuant to this section, any county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund created pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 97) of   Chapter 6 of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or otherwise established is not an affected taxing entity, and revenues received by local educational agencies from the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall not be considered property taxes received by the local educational agencies.  (3) If an agency reduces its payment to a school district, community college district, or county office of education, or for special education, the agency shall do all of the following: (A) Determine the amount of the total payment that would have been made without the reduction. (B) Determine the amount of the total payment without the reduction  which   that  : (i) would have been considered property taxes; and (ii) would have been available to be used for educational facilities pursuant to paragraph (4). (C) Reduce the amount available to be used for educational facilities. (D) Send the payment to the school district, community college district, or county office of education, or for special education, with a statement that the payment is being reduced and including the calculation required by this subdivision showing the amount to be considered property taxes and the amount, if any, available for educational facilities. (4) (A) Except as specified in subparagraph (E), of the total amount paid each year pursuant to this section to school districts, 43.3 percent shall be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (h) of Section 42238 of the Education Code, and 56.7 percent shall not be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of that section and shall be available to be used for educational facilities. (B) Except as specified in subparagraph (E), of the total amount paid each year pursuant to this section to community college districts, 47.5 percent shall be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of Section 84751 of the Education Code, and 52.5 percent shall not be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of that section and shall be available to be used for educational facilities. (C) Except as specified in subparagraph (E), of the total amount paid each year pursuant to this section to county offices of education, 19 percent shall be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of Section 2558 of the Education Code, and 81 percent shall not be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of that section and shall be available to be used for educational facilities. (D) Except as specified in subparagraph (E), of the total amount paid each year pursuant to this section for special education, 19 percent shall be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of Section 56712 of the Education Code, and 81 percent shall not be considered to be property taxes for the purposes of that section and shall be available to be used for education facilities. (E) If, pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3), an agency reduces its payments to an educational entity, the calculation made by the agency pursuant to paragraph (3) shall determine the amount considered to be property taxes and the amount available to be used for educational facilities in the year the reduction was made. (5) Local education agencies that use funds received pursuant to this section for school facilities shall spend these funds at schools that are: (A) within the project area, (B) attended by students from the project area, (C) attended by students generated by projects that are assisted directly by the redevelopment agency, or (D) determined by the governing board of a local education agency to be of benefit to the project area. (b) Commencing with the first fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments and continuing through the last fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments, a redevelopment agency shall pay to the affected taxing entities, including the community if the community elects to receive a payment, an amount equal to 25 percent of the tax increments received by the agency after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund has been deducted. In any fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments, the community that has adopted the redevelopment project area may elect to receive the amount authorized by this  paragraph   subdivision. If the community elects not to receive the amount authorized by this subdivision, the portion of the payment made pursuant to this subdivision that would have otherwise been calculated for   and paid to the community based on the community's proportionate share of property tax revenues shall remain with the agency  . (c) Commencing with the 11th fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments and continuing through the last fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments, a redevelopment agency shall pay to the affected taxing entities, other than the community  which   that  has adopted the project, in addition to the amounts paid pursuant to subdivision (b) and after deducting the amount allocated to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, an amount equal to 21 percent of  the portion of tax increments received by the agency   an amount  , which shall be calculated by applying the tax rate against the amount  of assessed value by which the current year assessed value   by which the assessed value of taxable property in the redevelopment project, as shown upon the local assessment roll for the current year, as prepared by the county assessor and delivered to the auditor pursuant to Section 617 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,  exceeds the first adjusted base year assessed value  of taxable property in the redevelopment project as established pursuant to this subdivision  . The first adjusted base year assessed value is the assessed value of  taxable property in  the project area in the 10th fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increment revenues  as shown on the local assessment roll as prepared by the county assessor and delivered to the county auditor pursuant to Section 617 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. For purposes of calculating the payments made pursuant to this subdivision, the assessed value of taxable property for the current year and the first adjusted base year shall not include the value of property included on the roll of state-assessed property prepared by the State Board of Equalization pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 721) of Part 2 of Division 1 of the Revenue   and Taxation Code, and shall not include the value of property included on the supplemental roll prepared pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The   portion of the payment made pursuant to this subdivision that would have otherwise been calculated for and paid to the community based on the community's proportionate share of property tax revenues shall be allocated among the other affected taxing entities in accordance with paragraph (2) of subdivision (a)  . (d) Commencing with the 31st fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments and continuing through the last fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments, a redevelopment agency shall pay to the affected taxing entities, other than the community  which   that  has adopted the project, in addition to the amounts paid pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c) and after deducting the amount allocated to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, an amount equal to 14 percent of  the portion of tax increments received by the agency, which   an amount that  shall be calculated by applying the tax rate against the amount  of assessed value by which the current year assessed value   by which the assessed value of taxable property in the redevelopment project, as shown on the local assessment roll for the current year, as prepared by the county assessor and delivered to the county   auditor pursuant to Section 617 of the Revenue and Taxation Code,  exceeds the second adjusted base year assessed value  of taxable property in the redevelopment project as established pursuant to this subdivision  . The second adjusted base year assessed value is the assessed value of  taxable property in  the project area in the 30th fiscal year in which the agency receives tax increments  as shown on the local assessment roll as prepared by the county assessor and delivered to the   county auditor pursuant to Section 617 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. For purposes of calculating the payments made pursuant to this subdivision, the assessed value of taxable property for the current year and the first adjusted base year shall not include the value of property included on the roll of state-assessed property prepared by the State Board of Equalization pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 721) of Part 2 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and shall not include the value of property included on the supplemental roll prepared pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The portion of the payment made pursuant to this subdivision that would have otherwise been calculated for and paid to the community based on the community' s proportionate share of property tax revenues shall be allocated among the other affected taxing entities in accordance with paragraph (2) of subdivision (a)  . (e) (1) Prior to incurring any loans, bonds, or other indebtedness, except loans or advances from the community, the agency may subordinate to the loans, bonds or other indebtedness the amount required to be paid to an affected taxing entity by this section, provided that the affected taxing entity has approved these subordinations pursuant to this subdivision. (2) At the time the agency requests an affected taxing entity to subordinate the amount to be paid to it, the agency shall provide the affected taxing entity with substantial evidence that sufficient funds will be available to pay both the debt service and the payments required by this section, when due. (3) Within 45 days after receipt of the agency's request, the affected taxing entity shall approve or disapprove the request for subordination. An affected taxing entity may disapprove a request for subordination only if it finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the agency will not be able to pay the debt payments and the amount required to be paid to the affected taxing entity. If the affected taxing entity does not act within 45 days after receipt of the agency's request, the request to subordinate shall be deemed approved and shall be final and conclusive. (f) (1) The Legislature finds and declares both of the following: (A) The payments made pursuant to this section are necessary in order to alleviate the financial burden and detriment that affected taxing entities may incur as a result of the adoption of a redevelopment plan, and payments made pursuant to this section will benefit redevelopment project areas. (B) The payments made pursuant to this section are the exclusive payments that are required to be made by a redevelopment agency to affected taxing entities during the term of a redevelopment plan. (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a redevelopment agency shall not be required, either directly or indirectly, as a measure to mitigate a significant environmental effect or as part of any settlement agreement or judgment brought in any action to contest the validity of a redevelopment plan pursuant to Section 33501, to make any other payments to affected taxing entities, or to pay for public facilities that will be owned or leased to an affected taxing entity. (g) As used in this section, a "local education agency" is a school district, a community college district, or a county office of education. SEC. 2.
