CA AB417

Expands enhanced infrastructure financing districts (EIFDs) to allow financing for small business commercial structure acquisition, construction, or repair for "community economic recovery" purposes, removing the previous limitation to COVID-19 pandemic recovery only

Reduces the land area threshold for community revitalization and investment authorities from 70% to 60% of land that must meet income or community condition requirements (such as median household income below 80% of statewide/countywide/citywide median, or meeting 3 of 4 conditions including high unemployment, crime rates, or deteriorated infrastructure)

Changes annual report deadline for public financing authorities from June 30 to within 7 months of each fiscal year close, and allows amendments to add participating taxing entities after district formation with a 30-day mailed notice and majority vote

Streamlines community revitalization authority formation by reducing required public hearings from 3 to 2, and allows a single 40-day advance notice to landowners, residents, and affected taxing entities as an alternative to separate 10-day notices before each hearing

Requires notices for community revitalization authorities to be provided in English and all other languages spoken by 20% or more of the county population that speaks English less than "very well" (excluding newspaper notices)
