California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 51357

Any pledge made by the agency shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made. The revenues, moneys, or property so pledged and thereafter received by the agency shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the agency, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
