Government Code section 16146

The Secretary of the Resources Agency may determine, after notice and hearing, that a local government is ineligible to receive state payments pursuant to this article by reason of its failure to comply with the provision of Article 10.5 (commencing with Section 65560) of Chapter 3 of Title 7, or with the provisions of any program which establishes an enforceable restriction upon which the assessment of land within its jurisdiction pursuant to Section 423, 423.3, 423.4, or 423.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is based. The fact that a local government has not complied with the requirements of Article 10.5 (commencing with Section 65560) of Chapter 3 of Title 7 by the dates set forth in that article shall not be reason to determine that the local government is ineligible to receive state payments, if the local government has complied by July 1 of the year in which application is made. This section shall not be construed to require the disqualification of any land from assessment pursuant to Section 423, 423.3, 423.4, or 423.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code as a consequence of any determination of ineligibility by the secretary.
