MEMORANDUM
To: City of Tustin
From: Townsend Public Affairs
Date: July 23, 2021
Subject: Monthly Report
State Legislative Update
On July 15, the Legislature adjourned for Summer Recess and will return on August 16.
Committees held hearings to advance legislation in order to meet the July 14 second house policy
committee deadline. When lawmakers return, they will have just four weeks left before the end of
session on September 10. The Legislature will also need to finalize the remaining budget trailer
bills for this year in order to enact policies consistent with the budget bill that was signed into law
by the Governor on July 12.
State Rental Assistance Metrics
The Governor announced that the California Rent Relief program continues to build momentum
with over $1 billion in rental assistance requested through the state administered program and
increasing rates of application and disbursement. Renters and landlords can apply for relief.
The state's rental assistance program allows tenants to access rental funds directly if their
landlord chooses not to participate and ensures landlords can receive compensation even if their
otherwise income-qualified tenants have already vacated a unit.
The Plan provides a total of$5.2 billion to now cover 100 percent of back-rent and all prospective
rent for several months into the future for income-qualified tenants. The Plan also includes $2
billion for past-due water and utility bills and more money than ever for tenant legal assistance.
These supports are in addition to Governor Newsom extending the state's eviction moratorium.
Governor Signs $6 Billion Historic Broadband Investment
The Governor has signed SB 156, a trailer bill to implement the $6 billion included in the original
Budget for broadband infrastructure construction, with priority given to underserved rural and
urban communities throughout the State. The bill's major provisions include: $2 billion for last-
mile infrastructure to increase connectivity and affordability in underserved rural and urban areas,
$3.25 billion for statewide, open-access middle-mile network, and $750 million to establish a new
loan loss reserve account to provide collateral to local governments issuing bonds for municipal
broadband deployment.

Jobless Claims Drop
Applications for U.S. state unemployment insurance fell last week to a pandemic low, indicating
that dismissals are easing as business conditions improve and firms look to increase headcounts.
Initial claims in regular state programs decreased by 26,000 to 360,000 in the week ending on
July 10, Department of Labor data showed today.
Capitol Mask Mandate
California has reinstated a mask mandate for all lawmakers and employees at the state Capitol,
regardless of vaccination status, following an outbreak of coronavirus cases in the building. All
individuals who contracted the coronavirus were staff, four of whom were fully vaccinated. This
announcement from the Secretary of the Senate and the Assembly Chief Administrative Officer
was followed by a letter from Legislative Leadership to Senate and Assembly staff.
Legislative Highlight: Active Housing and Land Use Bills
As the Legislature moves into its final month of session beginning August 16, many bills related
to housing and land use policy have progressed further than related legislation in past sessions.
However, it is important to note that the second house's appropriations process will feature the
final "suspense file" hearing, wherein, at the discretion of the Committee and Chair, some bills
may be held and will become 2-year legislation to be considered the following year. Below are
several bills related to housing and land use that are active, yet await the appropriations filter.
• AB 215 (Chiu), which would create a new, mid-cycle regional housing needs progress
determination process and mandates cities and counties with "low progress" in meeting
those housing targets to consult with the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) and adopt policies consistent with yet-to-be-released
HCD regulations, will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee in August
(pending a rescheduled date). This bill is a likely suspense file candidate.
• AB 602 (Grayson), which would require the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) to develop a nexus fee template to make significant
changes to laws governing local development impact fee programs, has passed the
Senate Housing Committee and will move to the Senate Appropriations Committee to be
heard in August.
• AB 989(Gabriel),which would create an Office of Housing Appeals within the Department
of Housing and Community Development to review allegations of violations of the Housing
Accountability Act for specified housing developments projects, passed out of Senate
Housing Committee and will move to the Senate Appropriations Committee to be heard in
August.
• SB 9 (Atkins), which would require ministerial approval of a housing development of no
more than two units in a single-family zone (duplex), the subdivision of a parcel zoned for
residential use into two parcels (lot split), or both, passed the Assembly Housing and
Community Development Committee and will move to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee to be heard in August.
Amended Budget Bill Signed
2
DocuSign Envelope ID: E8CAAF1 B-5DC4-4FB1-B79D-E9F1 3046CABF
As previously mentioned, last night Governor Newsom signed SB 129 into law, which makes
amendments based off AB 128 (the original Budget bill) and represents a budget agreement
between the Legislature and the Administration. SB 129 combined with AB 128, reflects a total
spending of $262.6 billion. The amended Budget bill clarifies spending allocations already
included in the original Budget. Despite the clarifying language within the amended Budget, many
outstanding issues such as broadband and homelessness funding have been hashed out through
the Budget trailer bill process. Below is a funding breakdown for several trailer bills with issues

Federal Legislative Update
Federal Appropriations Process for FY22
The House Appropriations process is on track to advance seven of the twelve FY22 spending
bills, including those covering Transportation-Housing and Urban Development (T-HUD), Energy
and Water Development (E&W), Interior-Environment, Labor-Health and Human Services (Labor-
HHS), and Military Construction-VA. These bills will likely be considered by the House the week
of July 26. The remaining bills could potentially be heard the same week but pend official
scheduling.
Funding earmarks for member-designated projects are continuing to roll in on both the Senate
and House sides. However, the key difference between the two legislative bodies is that the
House is in the process of formally adding their earmark requests into various spending bills
following a vetting and disclosure process, whereas the Senate is beginning the process of
disclosing their earmarks that they submitted to various appropriations subcommittees.
$3.5 Trillion Budget Reconciliation Package
Senate Democratic leaders and the Biden Administration reached an agreement on an overall
spending target of $3.5 trillion for a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package that will fund
nearly every major program proposed in President Biden's economic plan. The proposal includes
a notable expansion of Medicare, which would include funding for dental, vision, and hearing
benefits. The draft spending framework pends consideration from the remaining members of the
Democratic Caucus and Congress.

DocuSign Envelope ID: E8CAAF1B-5DC4-4FB1-B79D-E9F13046CABF
Cannabis Legislation Introduced in Senate
Senate Majority Leader Schumer unveiled the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act,
which would legalize and regulate cannabis at the federal level. Specifically, the draft bill would
require the Attorney General to remove cannabis from federal drug schedules 60 days after its
enactment and would impose a federal tax on all cannabis products. Federal taxes would be
levied at a gradually increasing rate, however, cannabis businesses that make less than $20
million in sales annually would be eligible for a 50 percent reduction in their tax rate. Given the
draft status of the language, future changes are likely to be made.
Homework Gap
The pandemic exposed the number of U.S. students who do not have access to high-speed
internet, and lawmakers say it's an issue that isn't likely to go away even when the pandemic
subsides. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for steps to narrow the "homework
gap" as schools incorporate more technology into their classrooms. A 2020 Pew Research survey
found that 15 percent of U.S. households with school-age children do not have high speed internet
access, a service that became essential for the many students completing assignments from
home during the pandemic.
J&J Vaccine Side Effect
U.S. health officials said that they are monitoring reports of a rare immune-system disorder in
some people who received the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said in a statement yesterday that adverse-event data indicate a "small
possible risk" of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare condition in which the immune system attacks
the nerves. There were 100 preliminary reports of the syndrome out of some 12.8 million doses
of the vaccine administered, the CDC said. The cases were seen mostly in men over the age of
50 about two weeks after they received the single-dose vaccine.
COVID-19 Booster Shots
The Biden administration's health officials believe the most vulnerable Americans will eventually
need coronavirus booster shots—but they are still debating how quickly that should happen. Top
Biden health officials met with Pfizer to discuss the company's booster-shot plans and review its
data. The briefing was not expected to materially affect the government's broader vaccine
strategy, and officials said that any recommendation that Americans get booster shots will go
through a regimented process that involves formal evaluation by a CDC advisory panel. Top
officials at the National Institutes of Health have urged caution on boosters, arguing there is no
concrete data to support their use at this time. Multiple companies have booster shots in ongoing
clinical trials — some funded by the NIH — and Johnson & Johnson is expected to share data
this month on whether a second dose of its one-shot vaccine provides stronger protection.
Contracts between the U.S. and Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers allow for the delivery of
additional doses for booster shots as well as extra doses needed for international donation.
