Local government: organization.

The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 requires a local agency formation commission, where the commission is considering a change of organization that consists of a dissolution, disincorporation, incorporation, establishment of a subsidiary district, consolidation, or merger, to either order a change of organization subject to confirmation of the voters, as specified, or order the change of organization without an election if the change of organization meets certain requirements. This bill would authorize the commission, where the commission is considering a change of organization that consists of the dissolution of a district that is consistent with a prior action of the commission, to immediately order the dissolution if the dissolution was initiated by the district board, or if the dissolution was initiated by an affected local agency, by the commission, or by petition, hold at least one noticed public hearing on the proposal, and order the dissolution without an election, unless a majority protest exists, as specified.
