§ 35576. If territory is taken from one school district and annexed to, or included in, a

(a) If territory is taken from one school district and annexed to, or included in, a new or acquiring district by any procedure, and the area transferred contains real property, the new or acquiring district shall take possession of the real property, pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 35560, on the day when the action to reorganize becomes effective for all purposes. The reorganized territory shall cease to be liable for the bonded indebtedness of the school district of which it was formerly a part, and shall automatically assume its proportionate share of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of any school district of which it becomes a part. (b) The new or acquiring district shall be liable for the greater of the amounts determined under provisions of paragraph (1) or (2), or the amount determined pursuant to a method prescribed under Section 35738. (1) The proportionate share of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of the original district, which proportionate share shall be in the ratio that the total assessed valuation of the transferring territory bears to the total assessed valuation of the original district in the year immediately preceding the date on which the action to reorganize is effective for all purposes. This ratio shall be used each year until the bonded indebtedness for which the new or acquiring district is liable has been repaid. (2) The portion of the outstanding bonded indebtedness of the original district that was incurred for the acquisition or improvement of real property, or fixtures located on the real property, and situated in the reorganized territory. (c) The county board of supervisors shall compute for the reorganized districts an annual tax rate for bond interest and redemption that will include the bond interest and redemption on the outstanding bonded indebtedness specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (b), or the amount determined pursuant to a method prescribed under Section 35738. The county board of supervisors shall also compute tax rates for the annual charge and use charge prescribed by former Sections 1822.2 and 1825, as they read on July 1, 1970, when those charges were established before November 23, 1970. All of those tax rates shall be levied in excess of any other ad valorem property tax authorized or required by law, and shall not be included in the computation of the limitation specified in subdivision (a) of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution.
