SECTION 93

93. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except as
provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), no local agency, school
district, county superintendent of schools, or community college
district shall levy an ad valorem property tax, other than that
amount which is equal to the amount needed to make annual payments
for the interest and principal on general obligation bonds or other
indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978 or the
amount levied pursuant to Part 10 (commencing with Section 15000) of
Division 1 and Sections 39308, 39311, 81338, and 81341 of the
Education Code. In determining the tax rate required for the purposes
specified in this subdivision, the amount of the levy shall be
increased to compensate for any allocation and payment of tax
revenues required pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 and
subdivision (d) of Section 33675 of the Health and Safety Code.
(b) A county shall levy an ad valorem property tax on taxable
assessed value at a rate equal to four dollars ($4) per one hundred
dollars ($100) of assessed value, and at an equivalent rate when the
ratio prescribed in Section 401 is changed from 25 percent to 100
percent. The revenue from that tax shall be distributed, subject to
the allocation and payment as provided in subdivision (d) of Section
33675 of the Health and Safety Code, to local agencies, school
districts, county superintendents of schools, and community college
districts in accordance with the provisions of the Government Code
through the 1978-79 fiscal year and in accordance with applicable
provisions of the Revenue and Taxation Code in each fiscal year
thereafter. Revenues from property tax delinquency penalties, and
accrued legal interest paid on judgments for the recovery of unpaid
property taxes rendered by courts of this state, shall be distributed
pursuant to Sections 4653.6, 4655.4, and 4658.4 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code, or their successors.
(c) Any jurisdiction may levy an ad valorem property tax rate in
the excess of the rate permitted in subdivision (b) in order to
produce revenues in an amount which is equal to the amount needed to
make annual payments for the interest and principal on any bonded
indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property
which is approved by a two-thirds vote of its voters after June 4,
1986.
