CHAPTER 563

An act to amend Section 53398.52 of the Government Code, relating to local government.

[ Approved by Governor  September 19, 2018. Filed with Secretary of State  September 19, 2018. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1145, Leyva. Enhanced infrastructure financing districts: maintenance.
Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to establish an enhanced infrastructure financing district to finance public capital facilities or other specified projects of community significance. Existing law authorizes a district to finance, among other things, the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of property and related planning and design work. Existing law prohibits a district from financing routine maintenance and repair work. Existing law authorizes the issuance of bonds for the funding of these purposes if approved by 55% of the voters voting on a proposal to issue the bonds.
This bill, instead, would authorize a district to finance the ongoing or capitalized costs to maintain public capital facilities financed in whole or in part by the district, but would prohibit the use of proceeds of bonds issued to finance maintenance of any kind.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 53398.52 of the Government Code proposed by AB 1999 and SB 1078 to be operative only if this bill and either or both AB 1999 and SB 1078 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
