Hi Folks

Please join our Zoom call this Saturday June 11 at 10 AM.

All bills must have passed out of their house of origin to the second house by now, or they are dead.

Our Opposition helped defeat the following

Weakening of CEQA (AB 1952 and AB 2445)
Parking limits for single family dwellings (AB 1904, AB 2608)
Draconian RHINA enforcement (AB 1976)
Expanding ADU permit authority to include movable tiny homes (AB 2430)
Creation of rental registry covering millions of units with constant changes (AB 2469)
Planning fees revision (AB 678, AB 2063)
Incentive grants to develop local public golf course space for affordable housing (AB 1910)

We supported bills that failed due to deadline rules:

Income tax credits for small businesses for each employee who telecommute at least 25 hours/wk. (AB 2620)
Clarifies rules on public remote participation in meetings of state agencies (AB 1795)
Limits applicability of local rent control measures owned by business owning more than 10 single family homes and has gross receipts of $1 billion or more. (AB 1791).
