AB-1138 Incorporation.(2001-2002)



As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 57050.5 is added to the Government Code, to read:

57050.5.
 Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 57050, for the purposes of a proposed incorporation of the community of Rancho Cordova in Sacramento County, the protest hearing on the proposal may be continued from time to time but not after August 19, 2002.

SEC. 2.

 Section 57132.5 is added to the Government Code, to read:

57132.5.
 Notwithstanding Section 57132, for the purposes of a proposed incorporation of the community of Rancho Cordova in Sacramento County, the election on the question of the incorporation shall be called and held on the next regular election date occurring at least 78 days after the date upon which the resolution calling the election was adopted.
SEC. 3.
 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 circumstances faced by the unincorporated community of Rancho Cordova in the County of Sacramento. The facts constituting the special circumstances are as follows:
The proposal to incorporate Rancho Cordova was filed before January 1, 2001, the effective date of Chapter 761 of the Statutes of 2000, the measure that revised the deadlines for the processing of incorporation proposals. Pursuant to Section 56101 of the Government Code, the Rancho Cordova incorporation proposal is being continued under and processed in accordance with the provisions of the law that existed before January 1, 2001. If local officials use all of the time provided to them by the provisions of the law that existed before January 1, 2001, the proposal to incorporate Rancho Cordova would not qualify for the November 5, 2002, general election ballot. Accordingly, a special act that applies different deadlines only to the proposal to incorporate Rancho Cordova is necessary.
SEC. 4.
 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 for the incorporation proceedings for the proposed City of Rancho Cordova to be completed in a timely manner that will permit the electors to vote on the question of incorporation at the November 5, 2002, general election, it is necessary that this act go into effect immediately.
