THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation during the 2011-12 Regular Session that establishes
long-term, targeted programs that provide local governments with
tools and resources for specified purposes, including, but not
limited to, public infrastructure, affordable housing, economic
development and job creation, and environmental protection and
remediation, in a manner that encourages local cooperation and
includes appropriate protections for state and local taxpayers.
   SEC. 2.    Section 53395.4 of the   
 Government Code   is amended to read:  
   53395.4.  (a) A district may not include any portion of a
redevelopment project area which is or has been previously created
pursuant to Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) of Division 24 of
the Health and Safety Code, whether the creation is or was proper or
improper. A redevelopment project area may not include any portion of
a district created pursuant to this chapter.
   (b) 
    53395.4.    (a)  A district may finance only
the facilities or services authorized in this chapter to the extent
that the facilities or services are in addition to those provided in
the territory of the district before the district was created. The
additional facilities or services may not supplant facilities or
services already available within that territory when the district
was created but may supplement those facilities and services as
needed to serve new developments. 
   (c) 
    (b)  A district may include areas which are not
