II. S ENATE BILL 165 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
On September 18, 2000, former Governor Gray Davis approved Senate Bill 165 which enacted the “Local Agency Special Tax and Bond Accountability Act”. In approving the bill, the Legislature declared that local agencies need to demonstrate to the voters that spec ial taxes and bond proceeds are being spent on the facilities and services for which they were intended. To further this objective, the Legislature added Section 50075.3 to the California Government Code setting forth annual reporting requirements relativ e to special taxes collected by a local public agency. The amount of special taxes collected and expended for the fiscal year 2021-22 special tax levy is set forth in the table on the following page:
