(a) Prior to the adoption by the legislative body of a redevelopment plan providing for tax increment financing pursuant to Section 33670, any affected taxing agency may elect to be allocated, and every school district and community college district shall be allocated, in addition to the portion of taxes allocated to the affected taxing agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, all or any portion of the tax revenues allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 attributable to one or more of the following:

(b) (1) Any local education agency that is a basic aid district or office at the time the ordinance adopting a redevelopment plan is adopted and that receives no state funding, other than that provided pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 2558, 42238, or 84751, as appropriate, of the Education Code, shall receive annually its percentage share of the property taxes from the project area allocated among all of the affected taxing entities during the fiscal year the funds are allocated, increased by an amount equal to the lesser of the following:

(B) Eighty percent of the growth in assessed value that occurs within the portion of the district within the redevelopment project area.
(2) Subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) shall not apply to a redevelopment plan adopted by the legislative body of a community if both of the following occur:
(A) The median household income in the community in which the redevelopment project area is located is less than 80 percent of the median household income in the county in which the redevelopment project area is located.
(B) The preliminary plan for the redevelopment plan was adopted on or before September 1, 1993, and the redevelopment plan was adopted on or before August 1, 1994.
(3) Any local education agency that is a basic aid district or office at the time the ordinance amending a redevelopment plan is adopted pursuant to Section 33607.7 and that receives no state funding, other than that provided pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 2558, 42238, or 84751, as appropriate, of the Education Code, shall receive either of the following:

(B) If an agreement does not exist, the percentage share of the increase in property taxes from the project area allocated among all of the affected taxing entities during the fiscal year the funds in the project area are allocated, derived from 80 percent of the growth in assessed value that occurs within the portion of the district within the redevelopment project area from the year in which the amendment takes effect pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 33607.7.
(4) The redevelopment agency shall subtract from any payments made pursuant to this section the amount that a basic aid district receives pursuant to Sections 33607.5 and 33607.7 for the purposes of either paragraph (1) of subdivision (h) of Section 42238 of the Education Code or either Section 2558 or 84751 of the Education Code.
(c) The governing body of any affected taxing agency, other than a school district and a community college district, electing to receive allocation of taxes pursuant to this section in addition to taxes allocated to it pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 shall adopt a resolution to that effect and transmit the same, prior to the adoption of the redevelopment plan, to (1) the legislative body, (2) the agency, and (3) the official or officials performing the functions of levying and collecting taxes for the affected taxing agency. Upon receipt by the official or officials of the resolution, allocation of taxes pursuant to this section to the affected taxing agency which has elected to receive the allocation pursuant to this section by the adoption of the resolution and allocation of taxes pursuant to this section to every school district and community college district shall be made at the time or times allocations are made pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670.
(d) An affected taxing agency, at any time after the adoption of the resolution, may elect not to receive all or any portion of the additional allocation of taxes pursuant to this section by rescinding the resolution or by amending the same, as the case may be, and giving notice thereof to the legislative body, the agency, and the official or officials performing the functions of levying and collecting taxes for the affected taxing agency. After receipt of a notice by the official or officials that an affected taxing agency has elected not to receive all or a portion of the additional allocation of taxes by rescission or amendment of the resolution, any allocation of taxes to the affected taxing agency required to be made pursuant to this section shall not thereafter be made but shall be allocated to the agency and the affected taxing agency shall thereafter be allocated only the portion of taxes provided for in subdivision (a) of Section 33670. After receipt of a notice by the official or officials that an affected taxing agency has elected to receive additional tax revenues attributable to only a portion of the increases in the rate of tax, only that portion of the tax revenues shall thereafter be allocated to the affected taxing agency in addition to the portion of taxes allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, and the remaining portion thereof shall be allocated to the agency.
(e) As used in this section, “affected taxing agency” means and includes every public agency for the benefit of which a tax is levied upon property in the project area, whether levied by the public agency or on its behalf by another public agency.
(f) This section shall apply only to redevelopment projects for which a final redevelopment plan is adopted pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 33360) of Chapter 4 on or after January 1, 1977.
