GOV § 64521 Effective Jan 1, 2024Title 6.8 · Part 1 · Ch. 3

Statute text

(a)Subject to the initial approval of the executive board, if the authority proposes a measure pursuant to Part 2 (commencing with Section 64600) that will generate revenues and that requires voter approval pursuant to the California Constitution, the board of supervisors of the county or counties in which the authority has determined to place the measure on the ballot shall call a special election on the measure. The special election shall be consolidated with the next regularly scheduled statewide election and the measure shall be submitted to the voters in the appropriate counties, consistent with the requirements of Articles XIIIA, XIIIC, and XIII, or Article XVI of the California Constitution, as applicable.

(b)(1) For the purpose of placement of a measure on the ballot, the authority is a district, as defined in Section 317 of the Elections Code. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a measure proposed by the authority that requires voter approval shall be submitted to the voters of the counties, as determined by the authority, in accordance with the provisions of the Elections Code applicable to districts, including the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 9300) of Division 9 of the Elections Code.

(2)Because the authority has no revenues as of the operative date of this section, the appropriations limit for the authority shall be originally established based on receipts from the initial measure that would generate revenues for the authority pursuant to subdivision (a), and that establishment of an appropriations limit shall not be deemed a change in an appropriations limit for purposes of Section 4 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
