(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (c), if the executive board adopts a resolution or other legislative enactment establishing or imposing a new commercial linkage fee or approving an increase in an existing commercial linkage fee and the authority board adopts a resolution concurring with the establishment, imposition, or increase of the fee consistent with subdivision (a) of Section 64621, each underlying land use jurisdiction shall, as a condition of approving a commercial development project for which it receives an application for a conditional use permit or other discretionary or ministerial approval, require an applicant to pay the amount of commercial linkage fee established, imposed, or increased by the executive board and the authority board pursuant to this article. The underlying land use jurisdiction shall provide notice to the applicant that does all of the following:

(2) States the amount of commercial linkage fee established, increased, or imposed by the executive board and the authority board.

(b) Each underlying land use jurisdiction shall collect and, after deduction of any actual and necessary administrative costs incurred by the underlying land use jurisdiction, remit the amount of commercial linkage fee established, increased, or imposed pursuant to this article to the authority. An underlying land use jurisdiction shall remit the amounts required by this subdivision on or before the last day of the month next succeeding each calendar quarterly period.

(c) If any amount of commercial linkage fee established, increased, or imposed pursuant to this article is found to be invalid pursuant to Section 64625, each underlying land use jurisdiction shall immediately cease collection of the commercial linkage fee.
