CA Supreme Court Upholds Abolishment of Redevelopment

The CA Supreme Court upheld AB 1X26 which dissolves redevelopment agencies. The court disagreed with the notion that redevelopment agencies have a protected right to exist in the face of statutory dissolution. In regard to AB 1X27, the court ruled that redevelopment agencies have a right to not make payments as a condition of continued operation, thus upholding Prop 22, which prevents the state from raiding local government funds. In review, the court upheld AB 1X26 and invalidated AB 1X27.
