Section 2263.1.

This section shall apply only to special districts formed between January 1, 1972, and the effective date of this section.

(a) For special districts the governing body of which is separately and directly elected by the qualified voters of the district, in the event that a maximum property tax rate cannot be established for such district pursuant to the provisions of Section 2263, the governing body may, by resolution, apply to the board of supervisors of the county in which the district, or the major portion of the assessed value thereof, is located to determine the maximum tax rate. Upon receipt of such a resolution the board of supervisors shall, by resolution, determine the maximum tax rate for the district. Such rate shall be sufficient to permit the district to provide the programs and services for which it was formed.

(b) For special districts the governing body of which is a city council, a board of supervisors or is appointed to office, in the event that a maximum tax rate cannot be established for such district pursuant to the provisions of Section 2263, the governing body may, by resolution, apply to the local agency formation commission in the county in which the district is located to determine the maximum tax rate. Upon receipt of such a resolution the local agency formation commission shall hold a hearing and shall determine the maximum tax rate for the district. Such rate shall be sufficient to permit the district to provide the programs and services for which it was formed. Procedures for holding such a hearing and making such a determination shall follow, as nearly as is practicable, the procedures provided in the District Reorganization Act (Division 1 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 6 of the Government Code) for hearing and determination by a local agency formation commission.
