(a) Notwithstanding any other law, for the 2007–08 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, property tax assessed value attributable to unitary property, as defined in Section 723, of a regulated railway company that is assessed by the State Board of Equalization, shall be allocated to tax rate areas as follows:

1. (1) With respect to the value of a qualified facility, both of the following apply:

   1. (A) An amount of value equal to 20 percent of the original cost of the qualified facility shall be allocated exclusively to those tax rate areas in the county in which the facility is located. The tax rates applied to this value shall be the rates described in Section 93.
   2. (B) The revenues derived from the application of these rates to the value described in subparagraph (A) shall be allocated to jurisdictions in those tax rate areas in the county in which the qualified property is located in percentage shares that are equivalent to the percentage shares that these jurisdictions received in the prior fiscal year from the property tax revenues paid by the regulated railway company in the county in which the qualified property is located. The county auditor shall ensure that school entities, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 95, in these tax rate areas in a county are allocated an amount equivalent to the same percentage the school entities received in the prior fiscal year from the property tax revenues paid by the regulated railway company in the county.

2. (2) With respect to the value of unitary property of a regulated railway company that is not described in paragraph (1), all of the following apply:

   1. (A) A countywide tax rate area shall be established in each county in which the property of a regulated railway company is located. Value shall be allocated to that countywide tax rate area according to the following:

      1. (i) Each countywide tax rate area shall receive an amount of assessed value equal to the amount of assessed value received in the county for the prior fiscal year, adjusted for changes in track mileage, unless the total amount of assessed value to be allocated is insufficient, in which case, each countywide tax rate area shall receive a pro rata share of the amount it received in the prior fiscal year, adjusted for changes in track mileage.
      2. (ii) If the total amount of assessed value to be allocated is greater than the amount of assessed value allocated for the prior fiscal year, adjusted for changes in track mileage, each countywide tax rate area shall receive a pro rata share of the amount in excess of the prior year’s assessed value of the regulated railway company adjusted for track mileage.
      3. (iii) The assessed value allocated to each countywide tax rate area under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be further allocated between land, improvements, and personal property in the same proportion that existed for each regulated railway company statewide for the 2006–07 assessment year.
   2. (B) The tax rate applied to the value allocated to a countywide tax rate area under subparagraph (A) shall be the sum of the rates described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 100.

   3. (C) The revenues derived from the application of these rates to this value shall be allocated in the manner described in subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section 100, which manner shall be modified as follows:

      1. (i) School entities, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 95, in a county shall be allocated an amount equivalent to the same percentage the school entities received in the prior fiscal year from the property tax revenues paid by the regulated railway company in the county.
      2. (ii) Notwithstanding any other law, for the 2007–08 fiscal year, a redevelopment agency shall not receive any property tax revenues described in this paragraph.

   2. (B) The facility is completely constructed and placed in service after January 1, 2007.
2. (2) “The amount of assessed value received in the prior fiscal year adjusted for changes in track mileage” means the prior year’s amount of assessed value in each county after it has been adjusted upward or downward in direct proportion to the change in the amount of track mileage on unitary property in the current year over the prior year.
3. (3) “Track mileage” means the number of total miles of track in a county.
