Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.2. Section 97.2.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the computations and allocations made by each county pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section shall be modified for the 1992–93 fiscal year pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, and for the 1997–98 and 1998–99 fiscal years pursuant to subdivision (e), as follows: (a) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each county shall be reduced by the dollar amounts indicated as follows, multiplied by 0.953649: Property Tax Reduction per County Alameda $ 27,323,576 Alpine 5,169 Amador 286,131 Butte 846,452 Calaveras 507,526 Colusa 186,438 Contra Costa 12,504,318 Del Norte 46,523 El Dorado 1,544,590 Fresno 5,387,570 Glenn 378,055 Humboldt 1,084,968 Imperial 998,222 Inyo 366,402 Kern 6,907,282 Kings 1,303,774 Lake 998,222 Lassen 93,045 Los Angeles 244,178,806 Madera 809,194 Marin 3,902,258 Mariposa 40,136 Mendocino 1,004,112 Merced 2,445,709 Modoc 134,650 Mono 319,793 Monterey 2,519,507 Napa 1,362,036 Nevada 762,585 Orange 9,900,654 Placer 1,991,265 Plumas 71,076 Riverside 7,575,353 Sacramento 15,323,634 San Benito 198,090 San Bernardino 14,467,099 San Diego 17,687,776 San Francisco 53,266,991 San Joaquin 8,574,869 San Luis Obispo 2,547,990 San Mateo 7,979,302 Santa Barbara 4,411,812 Santa Clara 20,103,706 Santa Cruz 1,416,413 Shasta 1,096,468 Sierra 97,103 Siskiyou 467,390 Solano 5,378,048 Sonoma 5,455,911 Stanislaus 2,242,129 Sutter 831,204 Tehama 450,559 Trinity 50,399 Tulare 4,228,525 Tuolumne 740,574 Ventura 9,412,547 Yolo 1,860,499 Yuba 842,857 (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction specified in that paragraph for any county or city and county that has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally declared disaster, as evidenced by at least 20 percent of the cities, or cities and unincorporated areas of the county representing 20 percent of the population within the county suffering substantial damage, as certified by the Director of Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and September 30, 1994, shall be reduced by that portion of five million dollars ($5,000,000) determined for that county or city and county pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3). (3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do all of the following: (A) Determine the population of each county and city and county in which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and September 30, 1994. (B) Determine for each county and city and county as described in subparagraph (A) its share of five million dollars ($5,000,000) on the basis of that county’s population relative to the total population of all counties described in subparagraph (A). (C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B). (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each city, except for a newly incorporated city that did not receive property tax revenues in the 1991–92 fiscal year, shall be reduced by 9 percent. In making the above computation with respect to cities in Alameda County, the computation for a city described in paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of Section 100.7, as added by Section 73.5 of Chapter 323 of the Statutes of 1983, shall be adjusted so that the amount multiplied by 9 percent is reduced by the amount determined for that city for “museums” pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 95. (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction determined pursuant to that paragraph for any city that has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally declared disaster, as certified by the Director of Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and September 30, 1994, shall be reduced by that portion of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) determined for that city pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3). (3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do all of the following: (A) Determine the population of each city in which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and September 30, 1994. (B) Determine for each city as described in subparagraph (A) its share of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) on the basis of that city’s population relative to the total population of all cities described in subparagraph (A). (C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B). (4) In the 1992–93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor shall adjust the computations required pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 98) so that those computations do not result in the restoration of any reduction required pursuant to this section. (c) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), the amount of property tax revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council, shall be reduced by 35 percent. For purposes of this subdivision, “revenues that are pledged to debt service” include only those amounts required to pay debt service costs in the 1991–92 fiscal year on debt instruments issued by a special district for the acquisition of capital assets. (2) No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any special district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in the 1989–90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts (not including any annual revenues from fiscal years following the 1989–90 fiscal year). With respect to any special district, as defined pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 95, that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant to this chapter but does not appear in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, the auditor shall determine the total annual revenues for that special district from the information in the 1989–90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties. With respect to a special district that did not exist in the 1989–90 fiscal year, the auditor may use information from the first full fiscal year, as appropriate, to determine the total annual revenues for that special district. No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of that agency’s general fund derived from property tax revenues. (3) The auditor in each county shall, on or before January 15, 1993, and on or before January 30 of each year thereafter, submit information to the Controller concerning the amount of the property tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county as a result of paragraphs (1) and (2). The Controller shall certify that the calculation of the property tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county is accurate and correct, and submit this information to the Director of Finance. (A) The Director of Finance shall determine whether the total of the amounts of the property tax revenue reductions to special districts, as certified by the Controller, is equal to the amount that would be required to be allocated to school districts and community college districts as a result of a three hundred seventy-five million dollar ($375,000,000) shift of property tax revenues from special districts for the 1992–93 fiscal year. If, for any year, the total of the amount of the property tax revenue reductions to special districts is less than the amount as described in the preceding sentence, the amount of property tax revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council, shall, subject to subparagraph (B), be reduced by an amount up to 5 percent of the amount subject to reduction for that district pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2). (B) No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any special district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in the most recent State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts. No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of that agency’s general fund derived from property tax revenues. (C) In no event shall the amount of the property tax revenue loss to a special district derived pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) exceed 40 percent of that district’s property tax revenues or 10 percent of that district’s total revenues, from whatever source. (4) For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a special district that provides fire protection or fire suppression services, all of the following shall be excluded from the determination of total annual revenues: (A) If the district had less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) in total annual revenues in the 1991–92 fiscal year, the revenue generated by a fire suppression assessment levied pursuant to Article 3.6 (commencing with Section 50078) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code. (B) The total amount of all funds, regardless of the source, that are appropriated to a district, including a fire department, by a board of supervisors pursuant to Section 25642 of the Government Code or Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 13890) of Part 2.7 of Division 12 of the Health and Safety Code for fire protection. The amendment of this subparagraph by Chapter 290 of the Statutes of 1997 does not affect any exclusion from the total annual revenues of a special district that was authorized by this subparagraph as it read before that amendment. (C) The revenue received by a district as a result of contracts entered into pursuant to Section 4133 of the Public Resources Code. (5) For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a resource conservation district, all of the following shall be excluded from the determination of total annual revenues: (A) Any revenues received by that district from the state for financing the acquisition of land, or the construction or improvement of state projects, and for which that district serves as the fiscal agent in administering those state funds pursuant to an agreement entered into between that district and a state agency. (B) Any amount received by that district as a private gift or donation. (C) Any amount received as a county grant or contract as supplemental to, or independent of, that district’s property tax share. (D) Any amount received by that district as a federal or state grant. (d) (1) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the county, cities within the county, and special districts as a result of the reductions calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be established in each county. The amount of revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and to community college districts, in total, in the same proportion that property tax revenues were distributed to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and community college districts, in total, during the 1991–92 fiscal year. (2) (A) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to those school districts and county offices of education within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The county superintendent of schools shall determine the amount to be allocated to each school district and county office of education in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school district and county office of education. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a school district or county office of education upon that school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity. (B) The Controller shall issue, on or before December 31, 2020, guidance to counties for implementation of subparagraph (A). Any guidance issued to counties pursuant to this subparagraph shall not be subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) or Section 30200 of Government Code. Commencing with the 2019–20 fiscal year, if a county auditor-controller fails to allocate Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund revenues in accordance with the guidance issued by the Controller pursuant to this subparagraph, the Controller may request a writ of mandate to require the county auditor-controller to immediately perform this duty. Such actions may be filed only in the County of Sacramento and shall have priority over other civil matters. (C) Calculations made pursuant to subparagraph (A) for fiscal years before the 2018–19 fiscal year shall be considered final as of the 2018–19 fiscal year second principal apportionment. (D) Calculations pursuant to subparagraph (A) for the 2018–19 fiscal year shall be considered final as of the February 20, 2020, certification. (3) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to those community college districts within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The chancellor shall determine the amount to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per funded full-time equivalent student in each community college district. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a community college district upon that district becoming an excess tax school entity. (4) (A) If, after making the allocation required pursuant to paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (3). If, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2). (B) (i) (I) For the 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii), allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools. Funds allocated pursuant to this subclause shall be counted as property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid for county offices of education and school districts within the county pursuant to Section 56836.15 of the Education Code. (II) For the 2007–08 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, both of the following apply: (ia) In allocating the revenues described in subclause (I), the auditor shall apportion funds to the appropriate special education local plan area to cover the amount determined in Section 56836.173 of the Education Code. (ib) Except as otherwise provided by sub-subclause (ia), property tax revenues described in subclause (I) shall not be apportioned to special education programs funded pursuant to Section 56836.173 of the Education Code. (III) If, for the 2000–01 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter, any additional revenues remain after the implementation of subclauses (I) and (II), the auditor shall allocate those remaining revenues among the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. (IV) A county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall not be required to provide funding for special education programs funded pursuant to Section 56836.173 of the Education Code or any predecessor to that section for a fiscal year before the 2007–08 fiscal year that it has not already provided for these programs before the beginning of the 2007–08 fiscal year. (ii) For the 1995–96 fiscal year only, clause (i) shall have no application to the County of Mono and the amount allocated pursuant to clause (i) in the County of Marin shall not exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000). (iii) For the 1996–97 fiscal year only, the total amount of funds allocated by the auditor pursuant to clause (i) and clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3 shall not exceed that portion of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) that corresponds to the county’s proportionate share of all moneys allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3 for the 1995–96 fiscal year. Upon the request of the auditor, the Department of Finance shall provide to the auditor all information in the department’s possession that is necessary for the auditor to comply with this clause. (iv) Notwithstanding clause (i) of this subparagraph, for the 1999–2000 fiscal year only, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate the funds to the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. The amount allocated pursuant to this clause shall not exceed eight million two hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars ($8,239,000), as appropriated in Item 6110-250-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1999 (Chapter 50, Statutes of 1999). This clause shall be operative for the 1999–2000 fiscal year only to the extent that moneys are appropriated for purposes of this clause in the Budget Act of 1999 by an appropriation that specifically references this clause. (C) For purposes of allocating the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the 1996–97 fiscal year, the auditor shall, after making the allocations for special education programs, if any, required by subparagraph (B), allocate all remaining funds among the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. For purposes of ad valorem property tax revenue allocations for the 1997–98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, no amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to the county, a city, or a special district pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be an amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that local agency in the prior fiscal year. (5) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision, other than amounts deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 33681 of the Health and Safety Code, shall be deemed property tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year. (e) (1) For the 1997–98 fiscal year: (A) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to any city subject to the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the amount determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and the amount of the reduction determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b). (B) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to any county or city and county subject to the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the amount specified for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and the amount of the reduction determined for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). (2) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to a city or city and county as a result of this subdivision shall be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d). (3) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for the 1998–99 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision shall be deemed property tax revenues allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year. (f) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section that this section supersede and be operative in place of Section 97.03 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by Senate Bill 617 of the 1991–92 Regular Session.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.3. Section 97.3.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the computations and allocations made by each county pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section, as modified by Section 97.2 or its predecessor section for the 1992–93 fiscal year, shall be modified for the 1993–94 fiscal year pursuant to subdivisions (a) to (c), inclusive, as follows: (a) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each county and city and county shall be reduced by an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance in accordance with the following: (1) The total amount of the property tax reductions for counties and cities and counties determined pursuant to this section shall be one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollars ($1,998,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year. (2) The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of the reduction for each county or city and county as follows: (A) The proportionate share of the property tax revenue reduction for each county or city and county that would have been imposed on all counties under the proposal specified in the “May Revision of the 1993–94 Governor’s Budget” shall be determined by reference to the document entitled “Estimated County Property Tax Transfers Under Governor’s May Revision Proposal,” published by the Legislative Analyst’s Office on June 1, 1993. (B) Each county’s or city and county’s proportionate share of total taxable sales in all counties in the 1991–92 fiscal year shall be determined. (C) An amount for each county and city and county shall be determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and cities and counties. (D) An amount for each county and city and county shall be determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and cities and counties. (E) The Director of Finance shall add the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraphs (C) and (D) for each county and city and county, and divide the resulting figure by two. The amount so determined for each county and city and county shall be divided by a factor of 1.038. The resulting figure shall be the amount of property tax revenue to be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year. (3) The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee its determination of the amounts determined pursuant to paragraph (2). (4) On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall notify the auditor of each county and city and county of the amount of property tax revenue reduction determined for each county and city and county. (5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the amount of the reduction specified in paragraph (2) for any county or city and county that has first implemented, for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the alternative procedure for the distribution of property tax levies authorized by Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part 8 shall be reduced, for the 1993–94 fiscal year only, in the amount of any increased revenue allocated to each qualifying school entity that would not have been allocated for the 1993–94 fiscal year but for the implementation of that alternative procedure. For purposes of this paragraph, “qualifying school entity” means any school district, county office of education, or community college district that is not an excess tax school entity, as defined in Section 95, and a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, as described in subdivision (d) of this section and subdivision (d) of Section 97.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the amount of any reduction calculated pursuant to this paragraph for any county or city and county shall not exceed the reduction calculated for that county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (2). (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (5), the amount of the reduction specified in paragraph (2) for a county of the 16th class that has first implemented, for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the alternative procedure for the distribution of property tax levies authorized by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part 8 shall be reduced, for the 1993–94 fiscal year only, in the amount of any increased revenue distributed to each qualifying school entity that would not have been distributed for the 1993–94 fiscal year, pursuant to the historical accounting method of that county of the 16th class, but for the implementation of that alternative procedure. For purposes of this paragraph, “qualifying school entity” means any school district, county office of education, or community college district that is not an excess tax school entity, as defined in Section 95, and a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, as described in subdivision (a) of this section and subdivision (d) of Section 97.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the amount of any reduction calculated pursuant to this paragraph for any county shall not exceed the reduction calculated for that county pursuant to paragraph (2). (b) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each city shall be reduced by an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance in accordance with the following: (1) The total amount of the property tax reductions determined for cities pursuant to this section shall be two hundred eighty-eight million dollars ($288,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year. (2) The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of reduction for each city as follows: (A) The amount of property tax revenue that is estimated to be attributable in the 1993–94 fiscal year to the amount of each city’s state assistance payment received by that city pursuant to Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979 shall be determined. (B) A factor for each city equal to the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) for that city, divided by the total of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) for all cities, shall be determined. (C) An amount for each city equal to the factor determined pursuant to subparagraph (B), multiplied by three hundred eighty-two million five hundred thousand dollars ($382,500,000), shall be determined. (D) In no event shall the amount for any city determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) exceed a per capita amount of nineteen dollars and thirty-one cents ($19.31), as determined in accordance with that city’s population on January 1, 1993, as estimated by the Department of Finance. (E) The amount determined for each city pursuant to subparagraphs (C) and (D) shall be the amount of property tax revenue to be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior year. (3) The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee those amounts determined pursuant to paragraph (2). (4) On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall notify each county auditor of the amount of property tax revenue reduction determined for each city located within that county. (c) (1) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each special district, as defined pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 95, shall be reduced by the amount determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (3) and increased by the amount determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (4). The total net amount of these changes is intended to equal two hundred forty-four million dollars ($244,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year. (2) (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, no reduction shall be made pursuant to this subdivision with respect to any of the following special districts: (i) A local hospital district, as described in Division 23 (commencing with Section 32000) of the Health and Safety Code. (ii) A water agency that does not sell water at retail, but not including an agency the primary function of which, as determined on the basis of total revenues, is flood control. (iii) A transit district. (iv) A police protection district formed pursuant to Part 1 (commencing with Section 20000) of Division 14 of the Health and Safety Code. (v) A special district that was a multicounty special district as of July 1, 1979. (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the first one hundred four thousand dollars ($104,000) of the amount of any reduction that otherwise would be made under this subdivision with respect to a qualifying community services district shall be excluded. For purposes of this subparagraph, a “qualifying community services district” means a community services district that meets all of the following requirements: (i) Was formed pursuant to Division 3 (commencing with Section 61000) of Title 6 of the Government Code. (ii) Succeeded to the duties and properties of a police protection district upon the dissolution of that district. (iii) Currently provides police protection services to substantially the same territory as did that district. (iv) Is located within a county in which the board of supervisors has requested the Department of Finance that this subparagraph be operative in the county. (3) (A) On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district equal to the amount of its allocation determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section 96.5 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year multiplied by the ratio determined pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of former Section 98.6, as that section read on June 15, 1993. In those counties that were subject to former Sections 98.66, 98.67, and 98.68, as those sections read on that same date, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocation determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section 96.5 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year that is attributed to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. In that county subject to Section 100.4, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocations determined pursuant to Section 96, 96.1, 96.5, or 100.4 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year that is attributable to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. In determining these amounts, the county auditor shall adjust for the influence of increased assessed valuation within each district, including the effect of jurisdictional changes, and the reductions in property tax allocations required in the 1992–93 fiscal year by Chapters 699 and 1369 of the Statutes of 1992. In the case of a special district that has been consolidated or reorganized, the auditor shall determine the amount of its current property tax allocation that is attributable to the prior district’s or districts’ receipt of state assistance payments pursuant to Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, for a special district that is governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council and that is a subsidiary district, as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 16271 of the Government Code, the county auditor shall multiply the amount that otherwise would be calculated pursuant to this paragraph by 0.38 and the result shall be used in the calculations required by paragraph (5). In no event shall the amount determined by this paragraph be less than zero. (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), commencing with the 1994–95 fiscal year, in the County of Sacramento, the auditor shall determine the amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocations determined pursuant to Section 96, 96.1, 96.5, or 100.6 for the 1994–95 fiscal year that is attributed to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. (4) (A) (i) On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that is engaged in fire protection activities, as reported to the Controller for inclusion in the 1989–90 edition of the Financial Transactions Report Concerning Special Districts under the heading of “Fire Protection,” that is equal to the amount of revenue allocated to that special district from the Special District Augmentation Fund for fire protection activities in the 1992–93 fiscal year. For purposes of the preceding sentence for counties of the second class, the phrase “amount of revenue allocated to that special district” means an amount of revenue that was identified for transfer to that special district, rather than the amount of revenue that was actually received by that special district pursuant to that transfer. (ii) In the case of a special district, other than a special district governed by the county board of supervisors or whose governing body is the same as the county board of supervisors, that is engaged in fire protection activities as reported to the Controller, the county auditor shall also determine the amount by which the district’s amount determined pursuant to paragraph (3) exceeds the amount by which its allocation was reduced by operation of former Section 98.6 in the 1992–93 fiscal year. This amount shall be added to the amount otherwise determined for the district under this paragraph. In any county subject to former Section 98.65, 98.66, 98.67, or 98.68 in that same fiscal year, the county auditor shall determine for each special district that is engaged in fire protection activities an amount that is equal to the amount determined for that district pursuant to paragraph (3). (B) For purposes of this paragraph, a special district includes any special district that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant to this chapter and does not appear in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, but is engaged in fire protection activities and appears in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties. (5) The total amount of property taxes allocated to special districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (4) shall be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenues not allocated to special districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (3) to determine the amount to be deposited in the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund as specified in subdivision (d). (6) On or before September 30, 1993, the county auditor shall notify the Director of Finance of the net amount determined for special districts pursuant to paragraph (5). (d) (1) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the county, city and county, cities within the county, and special districts as a result of the reductions required by subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund established in each county or city and county pursuant to Section 97.2. The amount of revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and to community college districts, in total, in the same proportion that property tax revenues were distributed to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and community college districts, in total, during the 1992–93 fiscal year. (2) The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph, allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be allocated to school districts and county offices of education only to those school districts and county offices of education within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The county superintendent of schools shall determine the amount to be allocated to each school district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school district. For each county office of education, the allocation shall be made based on the historical split of base property tax revenue between the county office of education and school districts within the county. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to a school district or county office of education upon that district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity. If, after determining the amount to be allocated to each school district and county office of education, the county superintendent of schools determines there are still additional funds to be allocated, the county superintendent of schools shall determine the remainder to be allocated in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue, excluding Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund moneys, per average daily attendance in each remaining school district, and on the basis of the historical split described above for each county office of education that is not an excess tax school entity, until all funds that would not result in a school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated. The county superintendent of schools may determine the amounts to be allocated between each school district and county office of education to ensure that all funds that would not result in a school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated. (3) The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this paragraph, allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be allocated to community college districts only to those community college districts within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The chancellor shall determine the amount to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per funded full-time equivalent student in each community college district. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to a community college district upon that district becoming an excess tax school entity. (4) (A) If, after making the allocation required pursuant to paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (3). If, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2). If, after determining the amount to be allocated to each community college district, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall determine the remainder to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue, excluding Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund moneys, per funded full-time equivalent student in each remaining community college district that is not an excess tax school entity until all funds that would not result in a community college district becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated. (B) (i) (I) For the 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii), allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools. Funds allocated pursuant to this subclause shall be counted as property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid for county offices of education and school districts within the county pursuant to Section 56836.15 of the Education Code. (II) For the 2007–08 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, both of the following apply: (ia) In allocating the revenues described in subclause (I), the auditor shall apportion funds to the appropriate special education local plan area to cover the amount determined in Section 56836.173 of the Education Code. (ib) Except as otherwise provided by sub-subclause (ia), property tax revenues described in subclause (I) shall not be apportioned to special education programs funded pursuant to Section 56836.173 of the Education Code. (III) If, for the 2000–01 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter, any additional revenues remain after the implementation of subclauses (I) and (II), the auditor shall allocate those remaining revenues among the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. (IV) A county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall not be required to provide funding for special education programs funded pursuant to Section 56836.173 of the Education Code or any predecessor to that section for a fiscal year before the 2007–08 fiscal year that it has not already provided for these programs before the beginning of the 2007–08 fiscal year. (ii) For the 1995–96 fiscal year only, clause (i) shall not apply to the County of Mono and the amount allocated pursuant to clause (i) in the County of Marin shall not exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000). (iii) For the 1996–97 fiscal year only, the total amount of funds allocated by the auditor pursuant to clause (i) and clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2 shall not exceed that portion of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) that corresponds to the county’s proportionate share of all moneys allocated pursuant to clause (i) and clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2 for the 1995–96 fiscal year. Upon the request of the auditor, the Department of Finance shall provide to the auditor all information in the department’s possession that is necessary for the auditor to comply with this clause. (iv) Notwithstanding clause (i) of this subparagraph, for the 1999–2000 fiscal year only, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate the funds to the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. The amount allocated pursuant to this clause shall not exceed eight million two hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars ($8,239,000), as appropriated in Item 6110-250-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1999 (Chapter 50, Statutes of 1999). (C) For purposes of allocating the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the 1996–97 fiscal year, the auditor shall, after making the allocations for special education programs, if any, required by subparagraph (B), allocate all remaining funds among the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. For purposes of ad valorem property tax revenue allocations for the 1997–98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, no amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to the county, a city, or a special district pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be an amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that local agency in the prior fiscal year. (5) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for the 1994–95 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision, other than those amounts deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to any provision of the Health and Safety Code, shall be deemed property tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.4. Section 97.4.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 97.2 or 97.3 or any other provision of this chapter, in implementing the changes in allocations of property tax revenues required by Sections 97, 97.1, 97.2, and 97.3, the county auditor may elect to determine and give effect to the changes in allocations of property tax revenues required by Sections 97, 97.1, 97.2, and 97.3 on a countywide, rather than tax rate area, basis. If the county auditor so elects, he or she shall ensure adequate recognition of year-to-year revenue growth so that the results of changes implemented on a countywide basis do not differ materially from the results which would be obtained from the use of a tax rate area basis. (b) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1992–93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, in any county in which property tax increment revenues are allocated to a redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code, the county auditor shall deposit in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund an amount that is equal to the total amount of revenues that would be so deposited pursuant to Sections 97, 97.1, 97.2, and 97.3 if no reduction were made in that amount of revenues for purposes of allocations to a redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code. Those revenues deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in accordance with this paragraph shall be allocated or transferred only to school districts, county offices of education, or community college districts, in accordance with subdivision (d) of either Section 97.2 or 97.3. (2) The deposit of property tax revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in accordance with paragraph (1) shall not reduce or otherwise affect the amount of property tax revenue to be allocated to a redevelopment agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 of the Health and Safety Code, and any additional amount required to be allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be deducted from those amounts allocated to the county, cities, and special districts with respect to each tax rate area in which property tax increment revenues are allocated to a redevelopment agency. These reductions shall be made in proportion to the total amount of the reductions required with respect to the county and each city and special district in each of these redevelopment agency tax rate areas under Sections 97, 97.1, 97.2, and 97.3. (3) This subdivision shall not require the modification of any property tax revenue allocation that was made by the county auditor for the 1992–93 fiscal year in a manner inconsistent with paragraph (1) or (2), if that allocation was implemented on or before June 30, 1993. However, property tax revenue allocations made in the 1993–94 fiscal year and any fiscal year thereafter shall be determined by the county auditor as if the allocations made for the 1992–93 fiscal year had been made in a manner consistent with paragraph (1).

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.21. Section 97.21.

For the purpose of determining under Section 97.2 the total annual revenues of a special district that provides fire protection or fire suppression services and had less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) in total annual revenues in the 1991–92 fiscal year, all of the following shall, in addition to any other revenues otherwise excluded, be excluded from the determination of total annual revenues: (a) The revenue generated by a special tax levied pursuant to Article 3.5 (commencing with Section 50075) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code. (b) The revenue generated by a special tax levied pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 53311) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code.

For the purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 97.2, “multicounty district” includes District 2 of the Alameda Contra Costa Transit District. This section shall be deemed to have become operative July 1, 1992, and the auditor is hereby authorized to adjust the 1993–94 distributions to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund accordingly.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.23. Section 97.23.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 97.2 or any successor to that section, the Chino Basin Municipal Water District may maintain a stream of property tax revenue as provided in former Section 97.03, as that section read on October 11, 1993, to meet the commitment of debt service obligated with respect to revenue bonds that were issued in accordance with Chapter 1279 of the Statutes of 1993, on or after the effective date of that act and prior to the effective date of Chapter 155 of the Statutes of 1994. (b) (1) In no event shall the total amount of the revenue stream maintained by the Chino Basin Municipal Water District pursuant to subdivision (a) exceed the total amount of the annual debt service payments for those revenue bonds described in subdivision (a). (2) If the total amount of the revenue stream maintained by the Chino Basin Municipal Water District pursuant to subdivision (a) exceeds the total amount of the annual debt service payments for those revenue bonds described in subdivision (a), then the Chino Basin Municipal Water District shall reimburse the excess amount to the county auditor for deposit into the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. (c) This section shall remain in effect only until the date upon which the revenue bonds described in subdivision (a) have been fully amortized, and as of that date is repealed.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.31. Section 97.31.

(a) (1) The Director of Finance shall direct the county auditor to reduce, in the 1993–94 fiscal year, the amount of the transfer to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund determined pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 97.3 for any eligible county in accordance with subdivision (b) of this section, and also shall direct the county auditor to reduce, in the 1993–94 fiscal year, the amount of that transfer for certain counties in accordance with subdivision (c). The total amount of the reductions for all counties made for the 1993–94 fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (b) shall not exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000). For the 1994–95 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, ad valorem property tax revenue allocations made pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 96.1 shall fully incorporate the adjustments required by this section. (2) For purposes of this section, an “eligible county” is a county with a population of less than 350,000, as reported in the 1990 federal census that had a fire element of the tax bill in 1977–78, that continues to fund some portion of those costs from the county general fund in 1993–94, and that provides these services in the same manner as a special district less than countywide and has so indicated in the Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties. (b) (1) For each eligible county, the county auditor may submit the following information to the Director of Finance not later than November 1, 1993: (A) The amount of property tax allocated to the county fire district in the 1977–78 fiscal year. (B) The amount allocated from the county budget to the county fire district in the 1978–79 fiscal year. (C) The amount of property tax reduction for the county fire district attributable to the passage of Article XIII A of the California Constitution by the voters in the primary election in June 1978. (D) The amount of money allocated from the county budget to the county fire district in the 1993–94 fiscal year. (E) The amount allocated to the county fire district from the Special District Augmentation Fund in the 1992–93 fiscal year. (2) For each eligible county that submits to the Director of Finance by November 1, 1993, the information described in paragraph (1), the Director of Finance shall make the following calculations: (A) Multiply the amount of property tax allocated to the county fire district in the 1977–78 fiscal year by the change in the value of the property tax base for the county from the 1977–78 fiscal year to the 1978–79 fiscal year. (B) Subtract the amount reported pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) from the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (A). (C) Multiply the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) by an amount determined by the Director of Finance to be the change in assessed value for the county from the 1978–79 fiscal year to the 1993–94 fiscal year. (D) Multiply the amount reported pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph (1) by 1.038. (E) Add the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) to the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (D). (F) Subtract the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (E) from the amount reported pursuant to subparagraph (D) of paragraph (1). (3) The Director of Finance shall determine the sum of all the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (F) of paragraph (2). (4) If the sum determined pursuant to paragraph (3) is greater than two million dollars ($2,000,000), then the Director of Finance shall proportionately reduce the amount for each county so that the total of the amounts for all counties does not exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000). If the sum determined pursuant to subdivision (e) does not exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000), then the Director of Finance shall not reduce the amount determined for each county. (5) The Director of Finance shall by January 15, 1994, notify each county of its reduction in the amount to be transferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 97.3. The maximum amount of the reduction that may be authorized pursuant to this subdivision is one-half the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (F) of paragraph (2). (c) The amount to be transferred from a county to an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 97.3 shall be reduced by one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) for the County of Madera and by two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for the County of Tulare.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.32. Section 97.32.

Notwithstanding Section 97.3, a special district does not include, for purposes of the reductions required by that section, a memorial district formed pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 1170) of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of Division 6 of the Military and Veteran’s Code.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.33. Section 97.33.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the amounts of property tax revenue that are required to be shifted pursuant to Section 97.3 from a city described in the second clause of paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 95 or a city described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 16700 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, and from the county in which those cities are located, to the Educational Relief Augmentation Fund, shall each be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of the property tax revenue loss incurred by the city or county as a result of the Oakland/Berkeley fire that occurred in October 1991. The auditor shall certify to the Department of Finance the amount of the property tax revenue loss for each city and the county as a result of those properties that were reassessed as a result of that fire. The property tax revenue loss shall be the difference between the property tax revenues, including property tax revenue attributable to tax rates levied pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, that would have been derived based on the original assessed value of those properties for the 1991–92 fiscal year prior to any reassessment for disaster relief, increased by 2 percent, and the property tax revenues derived from the assessed value of those properties for the 1992–93 fiscal year. (b) In each of the 1994–95, 1995–96, and 1996–97 fiscal years, for the county and cities described in subdivision (a), one-third of the adjustments made pursuant to subdivision (a) for each described city and the county shall be added to the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated to each city and the county in the prior fiscal year.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.34. Section 97.34.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the amount of the revenue reduction resulting from the application of subdivision (c) of Section 97.2 to an amount equal to the amount of the water quality control compliance costs of a qualified special district for the 1992–93 fiscal year shall, for purposes of property tax revenue allocations for the 1993–94 fiscal year, be added to the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated to that district in the 1992–93 fiscal year. The water quality control compliance costs of a qualified special district for the relevant fiscal year shall also be deducted from the amount of property tax revenue subject to reduction with respect to that district under Section 97.3 for the 1993–94 fiscal year, and under any statute with respect to any subsequent fiscal year that would reduce the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to that district for purposes of increasing the amount of property tax revenue to be allocated to another jurisdiction. (b) For purposes of this section: (1) A “qualified special district” means any special district that is required to comply with Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 13950) of Division 7 of the Water Code. (2) “Water quality control compliance costs” mean those costs, including, but not limited to, reserves for nongrowth facility augmentation and replacement and environmental protection, that are determined by the county auditor in accordance with subdivision (a) to have been incurred by a qualified special district in complying with Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 13950) of Division 7 of the Water Code. (c) The auditor may assess each qualified special district its share of the auditor’s actual and reasonable costs of complying with this section. For purposes of this subdivision, each share of costs shall be determined in accordance with that district’s proportional share of the total amount of water quality control compliance costs determined by the auditor for purposes of this section for each fiscal year.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.35. Section 97.35.

Notwithstanding Section 97.3, the amount of property tax revenues of a community service district that is subject to reduction pursuant to that section shall not include those property tax revenues, up to the amount of ninety thousand dollars ($90,000), that are allocated by that district to “police protection and personal safety” activities, as indicated in the 1989–90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on the Financial Transactions of Special Districts in California.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.36. Section 97.36.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, for the designated fiscal year, the amount of the revenue allocation reduction with respect to a qualified county that is attributable in that fiscal year to the reduction determined for that county for the 1993–94 fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 97.3 or its predecessor section shall be reduced by the amount of any increased revenues, allocated in the designated fiscal year in that county to a “qualifying school entity” as defined in paragraph (5) of subdivision (a) of Section 97.3 or its predecessor section, that would not have been so allocated but for that county being a qualified county. (b) For purposes of this section: (1) A “qualified county” means a county or city or county that has first implemented for the 1994–95 or any subsequent fiscal year the alternative procedure for the distribution of property tax levies that is authorized by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part 8.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.37. Section 97.37.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, for the 1994–95 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a county free library system, or a library established as an independent special district, shall not be reduced for purposes of increasing the amount of property tax revenue to be allocated to another jurisdiction. This section does not apply to any adjustments in property tax allocations made pursuant to Section 19116 of the Education Code. (b) (1) This section shall not be construed to preclude allocations of ad valorem property tax revenue to a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, rather than to a county free library system or a library established as an independent special district, that are required by the application to a library system or library district, as so described, of Sections 97.2 and 97.3. The Legislature finds and declares that this paragraph does not constitute a change in, but is declaratory of, existing law. (2) This section does not apply to any adjustments in property tax allocations made pursuant to Section 19116 of the Education Code. (c) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, for those county free library systems from which the auditor had not shifted ad valorem property tax revenue to an Education Revenue Augmentation Fund as of January 1, 1996, all of the following shall apply: (A) No allocation of ad valorem property tax revenue to a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall be required from a county free library system that did not levy a property tax rate separate from the property tax rate of the county for the 1975–76, 1976–77, and 1977–78 fiscal years, was not entitled to an allocation of property tax revenue for the 1978–79 and 1979–80 fiscal years, and did not receive state assistance payments pursuant to Section 16260, 26912, or 26912.1 of the Government Code. (B) No allocation of ad valorem property tax revenue to a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall be required from a county free library system that, for the 1977–78 fiscal year, was organized as a joint powers agency pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. (C) A county free library system established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 19100) of Chapter 6 of Part 11 of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Education Code, for which a separate property tax rate was levied in the 1977–78 fiscal year, shall be considered a special district. However, any county free library system that was not actually allocated property tax revenues pursuant to this chapter for the 1992–93 fiscal year and any portion of the 1993–94 fiscal year shall not be considered a special district for any purpose in the 1992–93 fiscal year and that portion of the 1993–94 fiscal year for which those revenues were not allocated. (2) The Legislature finds and declares that this subdivision does not constitute a change in, but is declaratory of, existing law.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.68. Section 97.68.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in allocating ad valorem property tax revenue allocations for each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, all of the following apply: (a) (1) The total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be allocated to a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall be reduced by the countywide adjustment amount. (2) The countywide adjustment amount shall be deposited in a Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund that shall be established in the treasury of each county. (b) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “Fiscal adjustment period” means the period beginning with the 2004–05 fiscal year and continuing through the later of either of the following: (A) The fiscal year in which the Director of Finance notifies the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 99006 of the Government Code. (B) The fiscal year in which an additional countywide adjustment amount, as described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (d), is determined. (2) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), the “countywide adjustment amount” means the combined total revenue loss of the county and each city in the county that is annually estimated by the Director of Finance, based upon the actual amount of sales and use tax revenues transmitted under Section 7204 in that county in the prior fiscal year and any projected growth on that amount for the current fiscal year as determined by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and reported to the director on or before August 15 of each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, to result for each of those fiscal years from the 0.25-percent reduction in local sales and use rate tax authority applied by Section 7203.1. The director shall adjust the estimates described in this paragraph if the board reports to them any changes in the projected growth in local sales and use tax revenues for the current fiscal year. (3) “In lieu local sales and use tax revenues” means those revenues that are transferred under this section to a county or a city from a Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund or an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (d), for each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, in lieu sales and use tax revenues in the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund shall be allocated among the county and the cities in the county, and those allocations shall be subsequently adjusted, as follows: (1) The Director of Finance shall, on or before September 1 of each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, notify each county auditor of that portion of the countywide adjustment amount for that fiscal year that is attributable to the county and to each city within that county. (2) The county auditor shall allocate revenues in the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund among the county and cities in the county in the amounts described in paragraph (1). The auditor shall allocate one-half of the amount described in paragraph (1) in each January during the fiscal adjustment period and shall allocate the balance of that amount in each May during the fiscal adjustment period. (3) After the end of each fiscal year during the fiscal adjustment period, other than a fiscal year subject to subdivision (d), the Director of Finance shall, based on the actual amount of sales and use tax revenues that were not transmitted for the prior fiscal year, recalculate each amount estimated under paragraph (1) and notify the county auditor of the recalculated amount. (4) If the amount recalculated under paragraph (3) for the county or any city in the county is greater than the amount allocated to that local agency under paragraph (2), the county auditor shall, in the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the allocation was made, transfer an amount of ad valorem property tax revenue equal to this difference from the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund to that local agency. (5) If the amount recalculated under paragraph (3) for the county or any city in the county is less than the amount allocated to that local agency under paragraph (2), the county auditor shall, in the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the allocation was made, reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise allocated to that city or county from the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund by an amount equal to this difference and instead allocate this difference to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. (6) If there is an insufficient amount of moneys in a county’s Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund to make the transfers required by paragraph (4), the county auditor shall transfer from the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund an amount sufficient to make the full amount of these transfers. (d) (1) At such time as the Director of Finance estimates that the notification described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) is likely to occur within the subsequent 12 months, the director shall, at the beginning of each subsequent calendar year quarter, determine the month in which the notification will occur. (2) (A) In the calendar year quarter in which the Director of Finance determines that the notification described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) will occur within either the current or subsequent quarter, the director shall revise the countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) for the current fiscal year such that the countywide adjustment amount is calculated only through the quarter in which the director gives notification pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). The director, when appropriate, may revise the countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) for the subsequent fiscal year such that the countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) is calculated only through the quarter in which the director gives notification pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). (B) If the determination regarding the notification described in subparagraph (A) is revised, the countywide adjustment amount calculated in subparagraph (A) for either the current or the subsequent fiscal year shall be recalculated such that the countywide adjustment amount described in subdivision (c) is calculated only through the quarter in which the Director of Finance gives notification pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b). (3) (A) After the end of the revenue exchange period, the Director of Finance shall do both of the following: (i) Provide to the Controller, with a copy to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, a schedule providing for a transfer from the Fiscal Recovery Fund, established pursuant to Section 99008 of the Government Code, to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund of either of the following amounts: (I) An amount equal to the local sales and use tax revenue not received by the county and each city in the county during the revenue exchange period as a result of the 0.25-percent reduction in local sales and use tax authority applied by Section 7203.1 minus the sum of all countywide adjustment amounts deposited during the revenue exchange period, as determined by the director. This amount shall be summed over all counties. (II) If the amount summed over all counties in subclause (I) is greater than the difference between the balance in the Fiscal Recovery Fund and an amount sufficient to cover the estimated costs associated with closing the Fiscal Recovery Fund, then a proportion shall be calculated equal to the proportion between the amount in subclause (I) summed over all counties and an amount equal to the difference between the balance in the Fiscal Recovery Fund and an amount sufficient to cover the estimated costs associated with closing the Fiscal Recovery Fund. The amount calculated under this subclause is equal to the product of the amount calculated in subclause (I) and the proportion calculated in this subclause. (ii) Provide a schedule to the auditor of each county of the amounts calculated under clause (i). (B) If the amount provided for in the schedule required pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (A) is the amount that is described in subclause (II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (A), an amount equal to the difference between the amount that is described in subclause (I) of clause (i) of subparagraph (A) and the amount that is described in subclause (II) of clause (i) of subparagraph (A) shall constitute an additional countywide adjustment amount to be applied in the manner prescribed in subdivision (a) for either the current or subsequent fiscal year, as determined by the director. (4) The Controller shall transfer, from the Fiscal Recovery Fund to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund for each county, the amount specified for that county in the schedule provided by the Director of Finance pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3). (5) Within 60 days of the transfer by the Controller of revenues from the Fiscal Recovery Fund to the Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund for each county, each county auditor shall allocate revenue to the county and each city in the county per the schedule provided by the Director of Finance pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3). (6) For purposes of this subdivision, “revenue exchange period” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 7203.1. (e) For the 2005–06 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amounts determined under subdivision (a) of Section 96.1, or any successor to that provision, may not reflect any portion of any property tax revenue allocation required by this section for a preceding fiscal year. (f) This section may not be construed to do any of the following: (1) Reduce any allocations of excess, additional, or remaining funds that would otherwise have been allocated to cities, counties, cities and counties, or special districts pursuant to clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.2, clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3, or Article 4 (commencing with Section 98), had this section not been enacted. The allocation made pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (c) shall be adjusted to comply with this paragraph. (2) Require an increased ad valorem property tax revenue allocation to a community redevelopment agency. (3) Alter the manner in which ad valorem property tax revenue growth from fiscal year to fiscal year is determined or allocated in a county. (g) Existing tax exchange or revenue sharing agreements, entered into prior to the operative date of this section, between local agencies or between local agencies and nonlocal agencies shall be deemed to be temporarily modified to account for the reduced sales and use tax revenues, resulting from the temporary reduction in the local sales and use tax rate, with those reduced revenues to be replaced in kind by property tax revenue from a Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund or an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, on a temporary basis, as provided by this section.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.69. Section 97.69.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, in allocating ad valorem property tax revenues to a Sales and Use Tax Compensation Fund under Section 97.68 or a Vehicle License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund under Section 97.70, the auditor shall not allocate to those funds the revenues from delinquent and uncollected property taxes on the secured roll that have been pledged or contractually obligated to debt service repayment under Section 6516.6 of the Government Code. (b) In implementing subdivision (a), the auditor shall proportionally increase, using nondelinquent ad valorem property tax revenues, the total amount of the ad valorem property tax revenue reduction, otherwise required by Sections 97.68 and 97.70, for all school entities in the county that have pledged or contractually obligated to debt service repayment revenues from delinquent and uncollected property taxes on the secured roll, by an amount equal to the total amount excluded under subdivision (a) to ensure that there is no reduction in the total amount of the countywide adjustment amount, as defined in Section 97.68, or the total amount of the countywide vehicle license fee adjustment amount, as defined in Section 97.70, for any fiscal year.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.70. Section 97.70.

Notwithstanding any other law, for the 2004–05 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, all of the following apply: (a) (1) (A) The auditor shall reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to a county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund by the countywide vehicle license fee adjustment amount. (B) If, for the fiscal year, after complying with Section 97.68 there is not enough ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to a county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the auditor to complete the allocation reduction required by subparagraph (A), the auditor shall additionally reduce the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to all school districts and community college districts in the county for that fiscal year by an amount equal to the difference between the countywide vehicle license fee adjustment amount and the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for that fiscal year. This reduction for each school district and community college district in the county shall be the percentage share of the total reduction that is equal to the proportion that the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to the school district or community college district bears to the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is otherwise required to be allocated to all school districts and community college districts in a county. For purposes of this subparagraph, “school districts” and “community college districts” do not include any districts that are excess tax school entities, as defined in Section 95.

(ib) The actual total amount of revenue that was distributed from the Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to the county, city and county, and each city in the county for the 2004–05 fiscal year under Section 11005, as that section read on the operative date of the act that amended this subsubclause. (II) The product of the following two amounts: (ia) The amount described in subclause (I). (ib) The percentage change from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year in gross taxable assessed valuation within the jurisdiction of the entity, as reflected in the equalized assessment roll for those fiscal years. For the first fiscal year for which a change in a city’s jurisdictional boundaries first applies, the percentage change in gross taxable assessed valuation from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year shall be calculated solely on the basis of the city’s previous jurisdictional boundaries, without regard to the change in that city’s jurisdictional boundaries.

(II) The percentage change from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year in gross taxable assessed valuation within the jurisdiction of the entity, as reflected in the equalized assessment roll for those fiscal years.

For each following fiscal year, the percentage change in gross taxable assessed valuation from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year shall be calculated on the basis of the city’s current jurisdictional boundaries. (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), “vehicle license fee adjustment amount,” for a city incorporating after January 1, 2004, and on or before January 1, 2012, means the following: (A) For the 2017–18 fiscal year, the quotient derived from the following fraction: (i) The numerator is the product of the following two amounts: (I) The sum of the most recent vehicle license fee adjustment amounts determined for all cities in the county.

For the 2014–15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the calculation of the vehicle license fee adjustment amount for the County of Orange under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) shall be based on a prior fiscal year amount that reflects the full amount of this one-time increase of fifty-three million dollars ($53,000,000). (4) “Countywide vehicle license fee adjustment amount” means, for any fiscal year, the total sum of the amounts described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) for a county or city and county, and each city in the county. (5) On or before June 30 of each fiscal year, the auditor shall report to the Controller, in an electronic format provided by the Controller, the vehicle license fee adjustment amount for the county and each city in the county for that fiscal year. The Controller shall make the information available to the public in a readily accessible compiled electronic file via the Controller’s internet website on or before September 1 of each year. (d) For the 2005–06 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amounts determined under subdivision (a) of Section 96.1, or any successor to that provision, shall not reflect, for a preceding fiscal year, any portion of any allocation required by this section. (e) For purposes of Section 15 of Article XI of the California Constitution, the allocations from a Vehicle License Fee Property Tax Compensation Fund constitute successor taxes that are otherwise required to be allocated to counties and cities, and as successor taxes, the obligation to make those transfers as required by this section shall not be extinguished nor disregarded in any manner that adversely affects the security of, or the ability of, a county or city to pay the principal and interest on any debts or obligations that were funded or secured by that city’s or county’s allocated share of motor vehicle license fee revenues.

The allocations required by this section shall be adjusted to comply with this paragraph. (2) Require an increased ad valorem property tax revenue allocation or increased tax increment allocation to a community redevelopment agency. (3) Alter the manner in which ad valorem property tax revenue growth from fiscal year to fiscal year is otherwise determined or allocated in a county. (4) Reduce ad valorem property tax revenue allocations required under Article 4 (commencing with Section 98). (g) Tax exchange or revenue sharing agreements, entered into prior to the operative date of this section, between local agencies or between local agencies and nonlocal agencies are deemed to be modified to account for the reduced vehicle license fee revenues resulting from the act that added this section.

(II) An amount equal to 10 percent of that district’s total revenues for the 2001–02 fiscal year, from whatever source, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report. (ii) The total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise allocated for each of those fiscal years to each enterprise special district that is a transit district shall be reduced by 3 percent of the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue of the district for the 2001–02 fiscal year, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report. (iii) The total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise allocated for each of those fiscal years to an enterprise special district that also performs, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report, nonenterprise functions other than fire protection or police protection shall be decreased by both of the following, not to exceed 10 percent of a district’s total revenues from whatever source, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report: (I) Forty percent of the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue of the district’s enterprise functions for the 2001–02 fiscal year, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report. (II) Ten percent of the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue of the district’s nonenterprise functions for the 2001–02 fiscal year, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report. (B) If an enterprise special district is located in more than one county, the auditor of each county in which that enterprise special district is located shall implement that portion of the total reduction, required by subparagraph (A) with respect to that district, determined by the ratio of the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that district from the county to the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that district from all counties. (2) The Controller shall determine the amount of the ad valorem property tax revenue reduction required by paragraph (1) for each enterprise special district in each county. The Controller shall then determine whether the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue reductions under paragraph (1) and Section 97.73 is less than three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000). If, for either the 2004–05 or 2005–06 fiscal year, the total of the amount of these reductions is less than three hundred fifty million dollars ($350,000,000), the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to each enterprise special district, other than an enterprise special district that is a transit district, shall be reduced by an additional amount equal to that district’s proportionate share of the difference, provided that the total reduction under this section for a district shall not exceed 10 percent of that district’s revenue from whatever source for the 2001–02 fiscal year, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report. If, as a result of this 10-percent limitation, any portion of the difference remains unapplied, that remaining portion shall, as many times as necessary, be applied in proportionate shares among those enterprise special districts, other than transit districts, for which the 10-percent limitation has not been reached, until a three hundred fifty million dollar reduction ($350,000,000) has been applied. The Controller shall, on or before October 25, 2004, notify the Director of Finance of the reduction amounts determined under this subdivision. The Director of Finance shall, on or before November 12, 2004, notify each county auditor of the allocation reductions required by this paragraph and Section 97.73. (b) That amount of ad valorem property tax revenue that is not allocated to an enterprise special district as a result of subdivision (a) shall instead be deposited in the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and shall be allocated as specified in subdivision (d) of Section 97.3. (c) For purposes of this section, all of the following apply: (1) “Enterprise special district” means a special district that performs, as reported in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report, an enterprise function. “Enterprise special district” does not include a fire protection district that was formed under the Shade Tree Law of 1909 set forth in Article 2 (commencing with Section 25620) of Chapter 7 of Division 2 of Title 3 of the Government Code, a local health care district as described in Division 23 (commencing with Section 32000) of the Health and Safety Code, or a qualified special district as defined in Section 97.34.

(d) For the purposes of this section, if a special district’s financial transactions do not appear in the 2001–02 edition of the State Controller’s Special Districts Annual Report, the Controller shall use the most recent data available for that district. (e) For the 2005–06 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the amounts determined under subdivision (a) of Section 96.1, or any successor to that provision, shall not reflect, for a preceding fiscal year, any portion of any allocation required by this section.

(C) If a nonenterprise special district is located in more than one county, the auditor of each county in which that nonenterprise special district is located shall implement that portion of the total reduction, required by subparagraph (A) with respect to that district, determined by the ratio of the amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that district from the county to the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that district from all counties. (2) The Controller shall determine the amount of the ad valorem property tax revenue reduction required by paragraph (1) for each nonenterprise special district in each county and notify the Director of Finance of these amounts on or before October 25, 2004.

(b) The Director of Finance shall determine for each qualified county the difference described in subdivision (a), and shall as soon as reasonably possible after the effective date of the act adding this section, notify the board of supervisors of each qualified county in writing of the amount of the difference calculated for that county. (c) For purposes of this section, “qualified county” means an “eligible county,” as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 97.31, that was subject to the reduction required by paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of that same section. (d) Except as otherwise required by law, the county auditor of a qualified county shall allocate property tax revenues for the 1996–97 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter in those amounts that fully reflect, as otherwise required by this chapter, any increases or reductions in allocations that are directed by the board of supervisors pursuant to subdivision (a).

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.361. Section 97.361.

Any reduction amount determined for a county pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 97.36 that is not applied to the benefit of that county in that county’s designated fiscal year, as defined in Section 97.36, may not be so applied in a later fiscal year, regardless of any increase in the amount of revenues allocated in that county to qualifying school entities as a result of the county’s adoption of the alternate procedure for the distribution of property tax levies authorized by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part 8.

Cal. Revenue and Taxation Code - RTC § 97.401. Section 97.401.

The calculations required by Section 97.4 shall result in cities, counties, and special districts annually remitting to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund the same amounts they would have remitted but for the operation of Part 1.8 (commencing with Section 34161) and Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code.
