This election has deep implications for all Californians and your vote counts. Make sure to vote by Tuesday, September 14. Voting information and resources to be aware of:

All active and registered voters in California received a mail-in ballot. Make sure you return your ballot at a vote center, at a secure drop box, or by mail (it must be postmarked by 9/14). If you haven’t received your ballot in the mail, you can check your voter status.
Make sure you're registered to vote! Remember that you can register for same-day voter registration at a county elections office, polling place, or vote center.

NPH-Supported Bills Move Forward

The State Legislature's Summer Recess is officially over and NPH is pleased to report that two NPH-supported bills have advanced through the legislative process. Both SB 9 (Atkins) and SB 591 (Becker) are now in the senate for a concurrence vote before they head to the Governor's desk for a signature.

SB 9 will streamline the process for a homeowner to create a duplex or subdivide an existing lot in all residential areas. SB 591 allows affordable housing developers to build intergenerational housing serving seniors and transition age youth.
