As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 56668.6 is added to the Government Code, to read:

56668.6.
 (a) Notwithstanding Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 56650) and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 56700) of Part 3, and Part 4 (commencing with Section 57000), every city with a population of fewer than 150 persons, according to the official records of the Department of Finance, as of January 1, 2010, is hereby disincorporated into that city’s respective county as of 91 days after the effective date of the act adding this section, except as provided by subdivision (b).
(b) A county board of supervisors may determine, by majority vote, within 90 days of the effective date of the act adding this section, that continuing a city within that county’s boundaries that would otherwise be disincorporated pursuant to subdivision (a) would serve a public purpose if the board of supervisors finds, on the basis of substantial evidence on the record before it, that the city is in an isolated, rural location that makes it impractical for the residents of the community to organize in another form of local governance. If a county board of supervisors votes, pursuant to this subdivision, to continue a city in existence, that city shall not be disincorporated.
(c) If a city is disincorporated pursuant to subdivision (a), the requirements of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 57400) of Part 5 shall apply and shall be overseen by the commission. The commission’s authority shall include, but is not limited to, the power to enforce the requirements of that chapter pursuant to Section 1085 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
SEC. 2.
 This act shall become operative only if Assembly Bill 781 of the 2011–12 Regular Session of the Legislature is enacted.
