33682.  (a)  (1)  For the purposes of this section, “existing indebtedness” means one or more of the following obligations incurred by a redevelopment agency prior to the effective date of the statute that adds this chapter, the payment of which is to be made in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, out of taxes allocated to the agency pursuant to Section 33670, and which is required by law or provision of the existing indebtedness to be made during the 1992–93 fiscal year: (A)  Bonds, notes, interim certificates, debentures, or other obligations issued by an agency (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 33640). (B)  Loans or moneys advanced to the agency, including, but not limited to, loans from federal, state, or local agencies, or a private entity. (C)  A contractual obligation which, if breached, could subject the agency to damages or other liabilities or remedies. (D)  An obligation incurred pursuant to Section 33445. (E)  Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 33334.2. (F)  An amount, to be expended for the operation and administration of the agency, which may not exceed 90 percent of the amount spent for those purposes in the 1991–92 fiscal year. (G)  Obligations imposed by law with respect to activities which occurred prior to the effective date of the act that adds this chapter. (2)  Existing indebtedness incurred prior to the effective date of the statute that adds this article may be refinanced, refunded, or restructured after that date, and shall remain existing indebtedness for the purposes of this section, if the annual debt service during the 1992–93 fiscal year does not increase and the refinancing does not reduce the ability of the agency to make the payment required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681. (3)  For the purposes of this section, indebtedness shall be deemed to be incurred prior to the effective date of this chapter if the agency has entered into a binding contract subject to normal marketing conditions, to deliver the indebtedness, or if the redevelopment agency has received bids for the sale of the indebtedness prior to that date and the indebtedness is issued for value and evidence thereof is delivered to the initial purchaser no later than 30 days after the date of the contract or sale. (b)  During the 1992–93 fiscal year, an agency that has adopted a resolution pursuant to subdivision (c) may, pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33681, allocate to the auditor less than the amount required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681, if the agency finds that either of the following has occurred: (1)  That the difference between the amount allocated and the amount required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681 is necessary to make payments on existing indebtedness that are due or required to be committed, set aside, or reserved by the agency during the 1992–93 fiscal year and that are used by the agency for that purpose, and the agency has no other funds that can be used to pay this existing indebtedness, and no other feasible method to reduce or avoid this indebtedness. (2)  The agency has no other funds to make the allocation required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681. (c)  (1)  Any agency that, pursuant to subdivision (b), allocates to the auditor less than the amount required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681 shall adopt, prior to December 31, 1992, for the 1992–93 fiscal year, after a noticed public hearing, a resolution which lists all of the following: (A)  Each existing indebtedness incurred prior to the effective date of the act that adds this article. (B)  Each indebtedness on which a payment is required to be made during the 1992–93 fiscal year. (C)  The amount of each payment, the time when it is required to be paid, and the total of the payments required to be made during the 1992–93 fiscal year. For indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate, or for short-term indebtedness that is maturing during the fiscal year and expected to be refinanced, the amount of payments during the fiscal year shall be estimated by the agency. (2)  The information contained in the resolution required by this subdivision shall be certified by the chief fiscal officer of the agency. (3)  The legislative body shall additionally adopt the resolution required by this section. (d)  (1)  Any agency that, pursuant to subdivision (b), determines that it will be unable to allocate the full amount required by subdivision (a) of Section 33681 shall, subject to paragraph (3), enter into an agreement with the legislative body by February 15, 1993, to fund the payment of the difference between the full amount required to be paid pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33681 and the amount available for allocation by the agency. (2)  The obligations imposed by paragraph (1) are hereby declared to be indebtedness incurred by the redevelopment agency to finance a portion of a redevelopment project within the meaning of Section 16 of Article XVI the California Constitution. This indebtedness shall be payable from tax revenues allocated to the agency pursuant to Section 33670, and any other funds received by the agency. The obligations imposed by paragraph (1) shall remain an indebtedness of the agency to the legislative body until paid in full, or until the agency and the legislative body otherwise agree. (3)  The agreement described in paragraph (1) shall be subject to these terms and conditions specified in a written agreement between the legislative body and the agency. (e)  If the agency fails, under either Section 33681 or subdivision (d), to transmit the full amount of funds required by Section 33681, is precluded by court order from transmitting that amount, or is otherwise unable to meet its full obligation pursuant to Section 33681, the county auditor, by no later than May 15, 1993, shall transfer any amount necessary to meet the obligation determined for that agency in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 33681 from the legislative body’s property tax allocation pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (f)  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section that this section supersede and be operative in place of Section 33682 of the Health and Safety Code as added by Senate Bill 617 of the 1991–92 Regular Session. (Amended (as added by Stats. 1992, Ch. 700) by Stats. 1993, Ch. 68, Sec. 5. Effective June 30, 1993.)
