Overview
This bill allows cities and counties in California to create ‘climate resilience districts’ to finance projects addressing climate-related disasters like wildfires, floods, and heatwaves. It streamlines the process for establishing these districts, potentially bypassing standard infrastructure financing plan requirements under certain conditions. The bill also focuses on using district revenue for rebuilding and recovery efforts following disasters, with specific restrictions on how funds can be used, and requires board members to be local residents or business owners.
Key provisions
- Allows cities/counties to establish climate resilience districts without full infrastructure financing plan procedures under specific disaster conditions.
- Permits the use of local sales and use tax revenues to finance district activities.
- Requires public meetings and public notice for district formation and plan adoption.
- Limits district revenue use to disaster-related rebuilding, mitigation, and economic recovery.
- Requires district governing board members to be local residents, property owners, or business representatives.
- Defines ‘disaster’ as a state of emergency declared by the Governor.
- Allows for the inclusion of adjacent areas to a disaster zone within the district, limited to 20% of the total area.
- Provides a mechanism for incorporating portions of a district into a separate district.
