Assembly Bill No. 2335
CHAPTER 332

An act relating to taxation, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

[ Filed with Secretary of State  September 07, 2000. Approved by Governor  September 06, 2000. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2335, Maldonado. Taxation: local agency reorganization.
Existing property tax law requires, when a city, district, or any special zone is created or its boundaries changed, that the levying authority of that entity file a specified statement and map or plat with the relevant county assessors and the State Board of Equalization by December 1 of the year immediately preceding the year in which the assessments or taxes are to be levied.
This bill would extend this deadline to December 31, 1999, with respect to a noncontiguous reorganization completed in 1999 by the City of Santa Maria.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity for a special statute.
The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency provision.

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


SECTION 1.

 (a) Notwithstanding Section 54902, 54902.1, or 54903 of the Government Code, the noncontiguous reorganization completed by the City of Santa Maria in December 1999 pursuant to Sections 56110 and 56111 of the Government Code shall be effective for assessment and taxation purposes for the 2000–01 fiscal year, provided that the statement and map or plat required with respect to that reorganization by Section 54900 of the Government Code were filed with the county assessor and the State Board of Equalization on or before December 31, 1999.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2002, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2002, deletes or extends that date.

SEC. 2.

 The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique procedural difficulties and administrative complications and requirements faced by the City of Santa Maria in completing a noncontiguous reorganization in 1999.

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 that the noncontiguous reorganization completed by the City of Santa Maria in December 1999 shall be fully effective, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
