BILL NUMBER: SB 813AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN SENATE MAY 12, 2009 INTRODUCED BY Senator Kehoe FEBRUARY 27, 2009 An act to amend Section 33080.2 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to redevelopment. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 813, as amended, Kehoe. Local agencies: redevelopment: annual report. Under the Community Redevelopment Law, a redevelopment agency is required to submit to its legislative body annually any audit undertaken by another governmental agency, and an annual report, as specified. Existing law requires the agency to inform the legislative body of any major violations of the Community Redevelopment Law based on the independent financial report and that the failure to correct a major violation may result in the filing of an action by the Attorney General. Existing law requires the legislative body to review any report submitted and take any appropriate action on that report within the first meeting of the legislative body occurring more than 21 days from the receipt of the report. This bill would instead require the legislative body to review any report submitted and, within 30 days of receiving the audit, adopt a written response that indicates what action, if any, the agency intends to take to correct the major audit violation. The bill would require the legislative body to send a copy of its written response to the grand jury. 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 33080.2 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read: 33080.2.
