An ordinance of a redevelopment agency imposing a

The ordinance shall be signed by the chairperson of the agency and attested by the clerk or secretary of the agency, and shall take effect immediately upon its final passage, but shall become operative on the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 180 days after adoption of the ordinance. In all other respects, the ordinance shall be introduced and passed, and notice given by publication, in the manner provided by law for general law cities.

Any pledge pursuant to Section 33641 of the Health and Safety Code made with respect to taxes imposed under this section for the payment of principal and interest on bonds of a redevelopment agency shall constitute the obligation of a contract between the redevelopment agency and the holder of the bonds and shall be protected from impairment by the United States and California Constitutions.
