(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, for each fiscal year for which this section is operative, the auditor for a county of the second class shall determine those amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to jurisdictions within that county in those amounts that would be determined if all of the following were true:

(b)

(1)For the fiscal year after the last fiscal year for which this section is operative, the auditor for a county of the second class shall allocate ad valorem property tax revenues to jurisdictions within the county in those amounts that would be determined if subdivision (a) had never applied to any preceding fiscal year.

(2)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no action shall be taken pursuant to this section that adversely affects any flood control project with respect to the Santa Ana River.

(c)

This section is operative for each fiscal year beginning after the date on which a court of appellate jurisdiction renders a final determination invalidating Chapter 745 of the Statutes of 1995, and is inoperative for each fiscal year beginning after the date on which the Department of Finance determines that the amounts of property tax revenue transfers to a county of the second class made pursuant to Chapter 745 of the Statutes of 1995, and not repaid, together with the amounts of property tax revenue transfers to a county of the second class made pursuant to this section, equal the amounts of property tax revenue transfers to a county of the second class that would have been made pursuant to Chapter 745 of the Statutes of 1995 had it remained in full force and effect.
