report may be included whenever the Controller publishes a report
pursuant to this section. The Controller shall include in his or her
report information that best illustrates the assets, liabilities, and
equity of selected districts. Specifically, the Controller shall

special districts with the largest total revenues for that reporting
period. When the report is available, the Controller shall notify the
Legislature, in writing, within one week of its publication.
