CHAPTER 10

An act to amend Sections 195.73 and 196.96 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to disaster relief, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

[ Filed with Secretary of State  October 10, 1995. Approved by Governor  October 08, 1995. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 12, Brewer. Disaster relief.
Existing law provides, with respect to specified counties that have adopted reassessment ordinances and were declared by the Governor to be in a state of disaster as a result of either the fires occurring in California in October and November of 1993 or the earthquake and aftershocks occurring in California on or after January 17, 1994, for specified state allocations with respect to property tax revenue reductions, as provided, if a claim is submitted by an eligible county on or before December 31, 1994. Existing law continuously appropriates, without regard to fiscal years, moneys in the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties for purposes of funding these state allocations.
This bill would extend the date for submitting those claims to December 31, 1995. By increasing the number of claims payable from the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, this bill would make an appropriation.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Appropriation: YES  

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


SECTION 1.

 Section 195.73 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read:

195.73.
 On or before December 31, 1995, each eligible county, as described in Section 195.71, shall compute and remit to the Controller for deposit in the General Fund an amount equal to the amount allocated to it by the Controller pursuant to Section 195.71, less the actual amount of its property tax revenue lost in the 1993–94 fiscal year on the regular secured and supplemental rolls with respect to eligible properties as a result of the reassessment of those properties pursuant to Section 170, excluding any property tax revenue lost by school districts (other than basic state aid school districts) and county offices of education. If the actual amount of property tax revenue lost by an eligible county in the 1993–94 fiscal year, as described and limited in the preceding sentence, exceeds the amount allocated by the Controller to that county pursuant to Section 195.72, the Controller shall allocate the amount of that excess to that eligible county. For purposes of this section, “basic state aid school district” means any school district that does not receive a state apportionment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 42238 of the Education Code, but receives from the state only a basic apportionment pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution.

SEC. 2.

 Section 196.96 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read:

196.96.
 On or before December 31, 1995, each eligible county, as described in Section 196.94, shall compute and remit to the Controller for deposit in the General Fund an amount equal to the amount allocated to it by the Controller pursuant to Section 196.94, less the actual amount of its property tax revenue lost in the 1993–94 fiscal year on the regular secured and supplemental rolls with respect to eligible properties as a result of the reassessment of those properties pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 170, excluding any property tax revenue lost by school districts (other than basic state aid school districts) and county offices of education. If the actual amount of property tax revenue lost by an eligible county in the 1993–94 fiscal year, as described and limited in the preceding sentence, exceeds the amount allocated by the Controller to that county pursuant to Section 196.95, the Controller shall allocate the amount of that excess to that eligible county. For purposes of this section, “basic state aid school district” means any school district that does not receive a state apportionment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 42238 of the Education Code, but receives from the state only a basic apportionment pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution.

SEC. 3.

 This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order to promptly provide vitally necessary fiscal relief to counties and to facilitate recovery from the heavy damage to lives and property inflicted by fires that took place in California in October and November of 1993, and by the earthquake and aftershocks that took place in California on or after January 17, 1994, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
