LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1874, Evans. Education finance: Vallejo City Unified School District. Existing law appropriates $60,000,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for apportionment to the Vallejo City Unified School District as an emergency loan. Existing law authorizes the Vallejo City Unified School District, from June 30, 2004, to July 1, 2010, inclusive, to sell property owned by the district and to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce or retire that emergency loan. This act would place this provision in the Education Code, and provide that this provision would operate from June 1, 2004, to June 30, 2015. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Vallejo City Unified School District. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 41344.6 is added to the Education Code, to read: 41344.6. (a) Notwithstanding Sections 17456, 17457, 17462, and 17463, or any other law, from June 1, 2004, to June 30, 2015, inclusive, the Vallejo City Unified School District may sell property owned by the district and use the proceeds from the sale to reduce or retire the emergency loan provided in Section 9 of Chapter 53 of the Statutes of 2004. The sale only of property pursuant to this subdivision is not subject to Section 17459 or 17464. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, from June 1, 2004, to June 30, 2015, inclusive, the Vallejo City Unified School District is not eligible for hardship assistance pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 17075.10) of Chapter 12.5 of Part 10 of Division 1 of Title 1. SEC. 2. Section 11 of Chapter 53 of the Statutes of 2004, as amended by Section 2 of Chapter 636 of the Statutes of 2008, is repealed. SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique fiscal circumstances of the Vallejo City Unified School District.
