(ii) In the case of a city incorporated subsequent to the last

and county is that determined by the last federal census, or
subsequent census validated by the population research unit, or as
determined by Section 11005.6 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
(2) The amendments made to this section by the act that added this
paragraph are operative upon the enactment of that act. However, the

notify the Controller of the adjustment amounts that are required by
this paragraph to be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of
the Local Revenue Fund. The amounts deposited in the State Treasury
to the credit of the Local Revenue Fund pursuant to this paragraph
shall be deemed to have been deposited during the 2003-04 fiscal
year.
(e) This section does not amend nor is it intended to amend or
impair Section 25350 and following of, Section 53584 and following
of, the Government Code, or any other statute dealing with the
interception of funds.

($25,000,000) shall be deemed to be the cost to the Department of
Motor Vehicles of collecting the motor vehicle license fees that are
collected with the motor vehicle registration fees and other fees.
All license fees on trailer coaches levied and collected
by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to Section 10751 shall

1909, and by a majority of the electors at the general election held

charges necessary to be paid during the following month of July on
the bonds referred to in this section.
The Controller shall deduct from the allocations he would
otherwise make pursuant to Section 11005, the amounts chargeable to
each city, county, and city and county under Section 40516 of the
Vehicle Code, and transfer that amount to the Motor Vehicle Fund in
augmentation of the funds available for the support of the Department
of California Highway Patrol.
The Controller shall make such deductions at the time of the first
allocation which occurs after the filing with him of the charges
certified by the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol. If
the amount of the deduction for any city, county, or city and county
exceeds the amount of the allocation for such city, county, or city
and county, the balance of the deduction in excess of the amount of
the apportionment shall be carried over and applied to the next
succeeding allocation or allocations until exhausted.
After payment of refunds therefrom and after making the
deductions authorized by Section 11003 and reserving the amount
determined necessary by the Pooled Money Investment Board to meet the
transfers ordered or proposed to be ordered pursuant to Section
16310 of the Government Code, the balance of all motor vehicle

and each fiscal year thereafter, that county shall receive, in
monthly installments, an amount equal to the amount allocated under
this section for the prior fiscal year, adjusted for the percentage
change in the amount of revenues credited to the Motor Vehicle
License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund from the revenues
credited to that account in the prior fiscal year. Moneys allocated
to the County of Orange under this subdivision shall be used first
for the service of indebtedness as provided in paragraph (1) of

amount required for this service of indebtedness may be used by that
county for any lawful purpose.

Section 2107.2 of the Streets and Highways Code. The population of
the annexed territory as determined by the Demographic Research Unit
shall be added to the city's population as previously determined by
the Controller pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (a),

city shall be apportioned to all other cities in the manner provided
by Section 11005.
Any city, county, or city and county may apply to the
population research unit of the Department of Finance to estimate its

of the department there is available adequate information upon which
to base the estimate. Not less than 25 days nor more than 30 days
after the completion of the estimate, the Department of Finance shall
file a certified copy thereof with the Controller if the estimate is
greater than the current certified population. Such a certification
may be made once each fiscal year.

estimated until a subsequent certification is made by the Department
of Finance or a subsequent federal decennial census is made.
Population changes based on a federal or state special census or
estimate validated by the Department of Finance shall be accepted by
the Controller only if certified to him or her at the request of the
Department of Finance. The request shall be made only if the census
or estimate is greater than the current certified population and
shall become effective on the first day of the month following
receipt of the certification.
The Department of Finance may assess a reasonable charge, not to
exceed the actual cost thereof, for the preparation of population
estimates pursuant to this section, which is a proper charge against
the city, county, or city and county applying therefor. The amount
received shall be deposited in the State Treasury as a reimbursement
to be credited to the appropriation from which the expenditure is
made.
As of May 1, 1988, any population estimate prepared by the
Department of Finance pursuant to Section 2227 may be used for all

received by the department from the city, city and county, or county
within 25 days of completion of the estimate.

amount or pursuant to any particular allocation formula, or to make
any other payment to a city, city and county, or county, including,
but not limited to, any payment in satisfaction of any debt or
liability incurred or so guaranteed if the State of California had
not so bound itself prior to the enactment of this section.

2010, that amount equal to the amount that would have been
transferred pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) had the act
