Supreme Court of California

In a writ challenge to two Assembly Measures intended to stabilize school funding by reducing or eliminating the diversion of property tax revenues from school districts to the state's community redevelopment agencies, petition is granted in part and denied in part where under the state Constitution: 1) redevelopment agencies, once created and engaged in redevelopment plans, do not have a protected right to exist that immunizes them from statutory dissolution by the Legislature; and 2) redevelopment agencies and their sponsoring communities have a protected right not to make payments to various funds benefiting schools and special districts as a condition of continued operation.
