Following the passage of ABX1 26 and ABX1 27, the California Redevelopment Association (CRA), League of California Cites (League), and sev- eral independent cities filed a law- suit challenging the constitutionality of the two laws. CRA and the League argued that the two budget bills violated Proposition 1A (2004), Proposition 22 (2010), and the California Con- stitution. On December 29, 2011, the Cali- fornia State Supreme Court handed down its decision that ABX1 26, which eliminated redevelopment agencies statewide, was a constitu- tional exercise of the Legislature’s authority. The Court opined that if the Legislature had the right to cre- ate redevelopment, then it also had the right to eliminate redevelop- ment agencies. The Court opined that ABX1 27 – which would have allowed agencies to reactivate if they made “voluntary” payments to the State – was unconstitutional. The Court indicated that the pay- ment was not voluntary and there- fore violated Proposition 22. The Court also rejected the argument that the two bills were inseparably linked. Although many legislators have indicated support for new legisla- tion to continue some of the basic goals of redevelopment, such as af- fordable housing, infrastructure and job creation, it is unlikely that the Legislature will approve any such legislation prior to February 1, the date upon which the Agency will cease to exist. In accordance with the Court’s ruling, the Rialto Redevelopment Agency will be dissolved on Feb- ruary 1. A Successor Agency will be created to provide basic admin- istrative support in the dissolution process. A seven member Over- sight Board, which will be con- trolled by County of San Bernardino and various School District appointees, will oversee the payment of all existing obliga- tions, the liquidation of all current assets of the Agency, and disposi- tion of all proceeds and unencum- bered funds to various state taxing entities.
