Statute text

Funds received by local governments pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may be used for county, city, or city and county purposes, as the case may be, or may, but need not necessarily, be used for purposes of general interest and benefit to the state. The use of the funds shall include administration, supervision, and enforcement of any open-space program under which a local government receives the funds. The funds may also include an allocation of all or part of them to any special district or school district existing within boundaries of a local government in which land is assessed pursuant to Section 423, 423.3, or 423.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and which has thereby suffered a reduction in its assessed valuation, when the local governing body determines:

(a)That the loss of assessed value is substantial and will have an adverse effect upon programs of public importance carried on by the district.

(b)The benefits flowing from the restrictions on the use of land within the district do not accrue solely or primarily to landowners or residents within the district.
