The Legislature introduced a total of 2,055 bills this year — 672 in the Senate and 1,383 in the Assembly. Of those bills, the Governor signed 997 into law and vetoed 169. The Governor's bill consideration trends during the month of September were inconsistent with previous years, largely because of delays associated with pressing matters like grid strain during the moth's unprecedented heat wave and the Governor's travels out of state, which precludes him from acting on legislation. Another anomaly for this year's final legislative actions is the Governor's high veto rate. In 2021, the Governor vetoed 66 bills, constituting a 7.8% veto rate. This year, the Governor vetoed 169 bills total — a veto rate of roughly 16% - which is well beyond his typical veto rate. Notably, nearly all of his veto messages point to a lack of planned budget funding to accomplish the goals set forth in the measures. While this messaging is not abnormal, it does point to the Governor's regimented spending practices for the budget's one-time spending allocations The Governor largely followed his previous bill -signing trends and packaged bills with other similar measures for signing into law. These packages include measures that address housing and land use, behavioral health supportive services, climate change and energy, and Brown Act Modernization, among others. Below is an overview of a few of the bills the Governor signed into law, organized by issue area: Housing and Land Use Throughout the 2022 Legislative Session, lawmakers were once again keenly focused on land use and zoning reform. These efforts build upon the passage of major land use reform bills from 2021, including SB 9 (Atkins), which requires the ministerial approval of urban lot splits and two - unit developments on single-family zoned parcels. This year's legislative session ended with the passage of several notable land use reform measures, including AB 2011 (Wicks) and SB 6 (Caballero), both of which authorize housing development projects in sites zoned for retail, office, parking, or along transit -rich corridors, so long as developers utilize stricter labor standards or adhere to stricter affordability requirements. Despite their similarities, both bills passed into law — a strategy that legislative leadership has (� Page 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 touted as a method to give developers the choice to decide which strategy to use when approaching a housing development project in a non-residential zone: comply with stricter labor standards or stricter affordability standards. Both bills were signed into law by the Governor and go into effect July 1, 2023. Another major land use reform measure that passed this year was AB 2097 (Friedman), which prohibits public agencies from imposing minimum automobile parking requirements on specified residential, commercial and other developments located within one-half mile of public transit. Notably, this bill is the second iteration of the legislation, which failed in the Appropriations Committee during the 2021 Legislative Session. AB 2097 was signed into law by the Governor and will become effective January 1, 2023. In addition to land use reform measures, the Legislature passed a handful of bills relating to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) requirements. These include SB 897 (Wieckowski), which makes various changes to existing ADU laws including adjustments to the minimum height limitations that a local agency may impose. Another ADU reform measure is AB 916 (Salas), which prohibits a city or county from requiring a public hearing as a condition of reconfiguring existing space to add up to two bedrooms within an existing dwelling unit. SB 897 and AB 916 were signed into law and included in the Governor's housing package of bills. These measures will go into effect January 1. 2023. Brown Act Reform The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated reforms to the Brown Act to provide remote flexibilities to adhere to social distancing orders. During the 2021 Legislative Session, the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, AB 361 (Rivas) into law, which allows local agencies to use teleconferencing without complying with specified Ralph. M Brown Act restrictions in certain state emergencies. Following the passage of AB 361, it was thought there would be no appetite to modify its provisions or looks toward additional Brown Act modernization requirements. However, this Session, three measures addressing public meetings requirements were passed by the legislature and signed into law. These include AB 2449 (Rubio), which allows members of a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing without identifying each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting, and without making each teleconference location accessible to the public. AB 2647 (Levine) allows writings that have been distributed to members of a legislative body of a local agency less than 72 hours before an open, regular meeting to be exempt from specified requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), if the agency meets certain requirements. Both AB 2449 and AB 2547 were signed into law and become effective January 1, 2023. An additional measure, SB 1100 (Cortese), has already been signed into law. This bill authorizes the presiding member of a legislative body conducting a meeting, or their designee, to remove an individual for disrupting the meeting, and defines "disrupting" for these purposes. Each of these three measures reflect modest changes to the Brown Act to allow for additional flexibilities for local agencies. Continued remote teleconferencing for all members of a legislative body is currently provided via the provisions established under AB 361, which are set to expire January 1, 2024, or when the COVID-19 state of emergency is lifted — whichever comes first. Election and Campaign Contribution Reforms The 2022 Legislative Session featured additional changes to election and contributions laws. These include AB 2582 (Bennett) and AB 2584 (Berman), which make reforms to laws that govern recall petitions of elected officials. AB 2582 requires a local recall election to include only the (� Page 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 question of whether the elected officer sought to be recalled should be removed from office. The bill requires the office, if a local officer is successfully recalled, to become vacant and to be filled in accordance with existing law. AB 2582 seeks to address issues related to situations wherein a recalled official could lose by a narrow margin and a candidate in a crowded field on the same ballot could win by a plurality of the vote smaller than that by which the official was recalled, which can sometimes appear as an undemocratic result. Similarly, AB 2584 increases the total number of proponent signatures required to be included on a notice of intention to recall a state or local elected officer, and imposes additional transparency information requirements on local ballots, including a proponent's statement of reasons for the recall and a fiscal estimate of the cost for conducting a recall election. Both AB 2582 and AB 2584 were signed into law and become effective January 1, 2023. In addition to the recall petition reforms, the Legislature passed SB 1439 (Glazer), which modifies existing campaign contribution requirements for local agencies. Specifically, SB 1439 applies the existing campaign contribution prohibition for state and local agencies and applies it to local elected agencies, such as city councils and boards of supervisors, and expands the timeframe prohibiting specific contributions following an official's action from three months to 12 months. Local agency officers are prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution of more than $250 from any party, participant, or a party or participant's agent, while a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement for use is pending before the agency. SB 1439 was signed into law and becomes effective January 1. 2023. Catalvtic Converter Theft Prevention Following a notable uptick in crimes associated with catalytic converter theft, the Legislature introduced nearly ten measures during the Legislative Session to address the issue. From these bills, two passed through the legislative process and were signed into law: AB 1740 (Muratsuchi) and SB 1087 (Gonzalez). Both bills establish robust tracing requirements for the purchase and sale of vehicle catalytic converters. Both measures impose civil and criminal penalties associated with negligence in adhering to the tracing standards and will likely curb catalytic converter crimes with increased enforcement. AB 1740 and SB 1087 were signed into law and become effective January 1. 2023. Behavioral Health Reform This Session, Governor Newsom and legislative leaders made it clear that overhauling the State's existing behavioral healthcare infrastructure was a top priority. On March 3, 2022, Governor Newsom unveiled his CARE (Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment) Court proposal framework, which was later packaged into SB 1338 (Umberg). This bill would offer court- ordered individualized interventions and services, stabilization medication, advanced mental health directives, and housing assistance to individuals struggling with behavioral health crises. Plans would last anywhere up to 12-24 months. In addition to their full clinical team, the client - centered approach also includes a public defender and a supporter to help individuals make self- directed care decisions. County behavioral health departments would be responsible for carrying out the care plans. Those who don't comply with their plans could be subject to California's existing system of involuntary hospital stays and conservatorships. Such programs have been in place since the 1960s, following the state's shift away from mental health hospitals and toward community -oriented care. Since California dismantled the hospital system, the state has primarily made use of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act and Laura's Law to care for people who suffer from severe mental illnesses. According to an October 2021 Department of Health Care Services report, only 218 (� Page 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 people received treatment through Laura's Law during the 2018-19 fiscal year — a statistic that many supporters of the program have referenced as an example for new programming. After numerous iterations of amendments, SB 1338 was passed by the Legislature on the final night of Session. Notably, the bill includes staggered implementation and additional funding resources to allow counties and other local agencies time to implement the program. SB 1338 was signed into law and becomes effective next year. Implementation will be staggered for different cohorts of counties — depending on their ability to meet program requirements. Other bills seeking to add reforms to behavioral healthcare were part of a bill package introduced by Senator Eggman. This included bills SB 929, SB 1035, and SB 1227— each of which adds modernizations to California's behavioral health continuum, including increased data collection among agencies and stakeholders to better understand the outcomes of involuntary holds, services provided, waiting periods to receive care, current and projected behavioral health care infrastructure, service needs, and more. All of these bills were signed into law and become effective January 1, 2023. Climate and Energy In mid-August, reports began swirling about the Governor convening meetings with legislative leaders and the Democratic Caucus to push forward last-minute legislation to address the climate crisis. These priorities materialized into a memo presented to the Legislature, outlining climate change mitigation tactics the Governor wanted to see pushed forward in legislation before the end of Session. These included to laws set interim targets for 100 percent clean energy, regulate projects to remove carbon from the atmosphere and smokestacks, and end new oil drilling near communities. Ultimately, these efforts resulted in six legislative proposals, five of which passed the Legislature and have been signed into law by the Governor. These five measures include the following: Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions Measures contained within the package relating to greenhouse gas emissions include AB 1279 (Muratsuchi), which codifies the State's existing goal of carbon neutrality by 2045. For context, the State enacted another greenhouse gas bill, AB 32, in 2006, requiring the State to set a target for emissions to drop to 1990 levels by 2020. While AB 1279 passed, another, more aggressive measure that would have set California's target at 55% below the state's 1990 emissions up from the current 40% target, failed in the Assembly on the final night of session. Clean Energy and Grid Reliability Another measure relating to the Governor's climate proposals is SB 1020 (Laird), which sets interim targets for generating clean energy. A current law already requires 100% of retail electricity to be fueled by renewables such as wind and solar by 2045. The new law would add 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040. In addition, all State agencies must source their energy from 100% renewable sources by 2035, ten years sooner than law now requires. The question remains, however, if California's electrical grid can handle the surge in energy demand. The State is expected to see a 68% increase in energy consumption by 2045, according to the California Air Resources Board. To handle that increase, the Agency estimates that the State needs to expedite renewable energy projects. The issue of grid reliability was addressed in SB 846 (Dodd) which aims to keep the State's last remaining nuclear power plant in Diablo Canyon operating until 2030 and gives its operator, (� Page 4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 Pacific Gas & Electric, a $1.4 billion loan to do so. This bill was viewed as one of the most contentious bills of the final night of session – with proponents arguing the need to keep the power plant functioning in the face of increase grid demand, and opponents concerned about accidents, nuclear waste issues, and a perceived "PG&E bailout." Carbon Sequestration SB 905 (Caballero) directs the California Air Resources Board to develop a program and set regulations for carbon capture, utilization and storage projects at polluting industries, such as oil refineries. The practice is supported by the oil industry, but environmentalists say it has the potential to do more harm than good and prolongs the lives of fossil fuels. The State has yet to see a large scale carbon capture and storage development seen to fruition. Another bill approved by the Legislature, AB 1757 (C. Garcia), would require the State to set targets for removing planet -warming carbon from the atmosphere with nature -based methods, such as planting trees, restoring wetlands and scaling up public landscaping and urban forestry projects. The bill received widespread support from environmentalists, who say nature -based solutions to combating the existing amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the air is a better approach than relying on engineered technologies. Oil Well Setbacks The 2022 Legislative Session saw several attempts to establish buffer zones around oil and gas wells and other large-scale industrial equipment, to prevent their encroachment on "sensitive receptors" like residential zones and schools. SB 1137 (Gonzalez), which requires 3,200 foot setbacks between new oil and gas wells and sensitive receptors, narrowly passed the Legislature on the final night of session. The bill also requires operators to take certain steps at the thousands of existing wells within that buffer zone. Included is a plan to monitor toxic leaks and emissions, and install alarm systems. In addition, new requirements would include limits on noise, light, dust and vapors. COVID-19 Paid Sick Leave Extension Existing law entitles a covered employee to 40 hours of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave if the employee is subject to a COVID-19 quarantine or isolation period, is attending a vaccine or vaccine booster appointment, experiencing related symptoms, or caring for a child whose school or place of care is closed. In the final month of session, the Legislature passed AB 152 (Committee on Budget), which extends COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave provisions contained in SB 114 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, Statutes of 2022) from September 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022, which entitles covered employees up to 80 hours of paid sick leave under specified circumstances. AB 152 was signed into law and became effective immediately. New State Holidays This Legislative Session also resulted in the passage of new state holidays. This includes AB 2596 (Low), which recognizes Lunar New Year as a state holiday and authorizes eligible state employees to elect to receive eight hours of holiday credit for that date in lieu of receiving eight hours of personal credit, as provided. In 2022, the Lunar New Year began on Tuesday, February 1. While the official dates encompassing the holiday vary by culture, those celebrating consider it the time of the year to reunite with immediate and extended family. The New Year typically begins with the first new moon that occurs between the end of January and spans the first 15 days of the first month of the lunar calendar—until the full moon arrives. Some of the traditional (� Page 5 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 festivities include street parades, food, music, dancing, and fireworks. AB 2696 was signed into law and becomes effective January 1, 2023. Another new state holiday emerged through the passage of AB 1655 (Jones -Sawyer). This bill adds June 19, known as "Juneteenth," to the list of state holidays, requires public schools, to close on June 19, and authorizes specified state employees to elect to take time off with pay in recognition of Juneteenth. The holiday received its name by combining June and 19. Throughout history, Juneteenth has been known by many names: Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day. Juneteenth symbolizes freedom, celebrates the abolishment of slavery, and reminds all Americans of the significant contributions of African Americans within society. AB 1655 was signed into law and becomes effective January 1, 2023. The third new state holiday was enacted through the passage of AB 1801 (Nazarian). AB 1801 adds April 24, known as "Genocide Remembrance Day," to the list of state holidays. The bill authorizes community colleges and public schools to close on April 24, known as "Genocide Remembrance Day.". The bill would authorize state employees to elect to take time off with pay in recognition of "Genocide Remembrance Day." AB 1801 was signed into law and becomes effective January 1, 2023. While these three additional state holidays are not likely to translate into local government holidays, they could impact future collective bargaining negotiations and agreements. Looking Forward The decennial redistricting process caused numerous lawmakers to move, battle for new district spots, or retire. This, coupled with the onset of another graduating class of legislators under the new term limit requirements established by Prop. 140 (1990), has prompted many legislators to not seek reelection. As such, 2023 will bring forward a new class of freshman legislators — specifically, 10 new Senators and 19 new Assembly Members. This is likely to spark new leadership changes, bill ideas, and shift the makeup of factions within the Democratic Caucus. For instance, Assembly Member Robert Rivas has already signaled his intentions of battling incumbent Speaker Anthony Rendon for the coveted Assembly Speakership. Update on FY23 Appropriations Congress avoided a partial government shutdown by passing a stopgap funding measure on September 30. The Continuing Resolution (CR) extends funding at FY22 levels until December 16 when Congress will need to act by passing either another CR or an omnibus funding bill. On September 27, the House and Senate came together on a CR proposal that would provide funding through December 16th, allowing for Congress to pull together the final FY23 funding package prior to the new year. The package passed the Senate on September 29 and the House on September 30, averting a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The funding package includes $12.3 billion in economic and military support for Ukraine; $1 billion for the Low -Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); $2.5 billion in funding for New Mexico to recover from the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fire in April; $2 billion in additional disaster aid; $20 million for water infrastructure in Jackson, Miss.; and a five-year reauthorization of FDA user fees, among other high-profile provisions. (� Page 6 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 After garnering little support from Republicans and some opposition from Democrats, Sen. Joe Manchin requested that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer remove his energy bill from the package. The decision removed the main obstacle to securing 60 votes in the Senate for the bill (H.R. 6833) to fund the government through December 16. Aside from funding expiring, the midterm elections provide an additional motivation for lawmakers to come to an agreement as soon as possible, allowing them to return home and finish out the final few weeks of campaigning for reelection. Lawmakers are already talking about additional rounds of aid for Florida and Puerto Rico following the deadly hurricanes there, but that will have to wait until after the elections. SMART Grants Program The U.S. Department of Transportation announced the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program. The program will offer up to $100 million in grants annually over the next five years and will fund projects that use data and technology to solve real-world challenges facing communities today. The SMART program will fund purpose -driven innovation with a focus on building data and technology capacity and expertise. The program seeks proposals from public sector entities that will carry out demonstration projects in the three following domains to address key transportation priorities: • Vehicle technology, such as automation and connectivity • Systems innovation, such as delivery and logistics, traffic signals, smart grid, and data integration • New ways to monitor and manage infrastructure, such as sensors and UAS The SMART Notice of Funding (NOFO) is open now and can be found here. Applications must be submitted by 5:00 PM EDT on Friday, November 18, 2022. Eligible entities are state, local, and tribal governments and agencies. For more information visit the U.S. Department of Transportation. ATTAIN Program The U.S. Department of Transportation announced the Federal Highway Administration's $60 million Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) program to promote advanced technologies to improve safety and reduce travel times for drivers and transit riders and that can serve as national examples. As a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, ATTAIN - eligible projects will be evaluated on how they consider climate change and environmental justice impacts — including how they reduce transportation -related air pollution and address the disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged communities. Projects are also evaluated on their economic impact and potential to create jobs. The ATTAIN NOFO can be found at www.grants.gov. State departments of transportation, local governments, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and other eligible entities are invited to apply.

Brownfields Grant Funding The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that approximately $169 million in funding is available for Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and (� Page 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 Cleanup Grants under the Fiscal Year 2023 grant competitions. This funding, which is boosted by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, represents a significant investment in overburdened and underserved communities. EPA anticipates awarding approximately 198 grants nationwide at amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per award. With this funding more vacant and abandoned properties will be turned into community assets that will attract jobs and promote economic revitalization in communities. Entities eligible to apply for and receive Brownfields Grants include States, General Purpose Units of Local Government, Land clearance Authorities, Government entities created by state legislature, regional councils of groups of General Units of Local Government, nonprofit organizations, Indian Tribes other than Alaska and more. Applications are due by November 22, 2022, via www.grants.gov. Additional information on Brownfields Grants can be found here. U.S. DOT Announces INFRA Grant Recipients The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $1.5 billion from the popular Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) competitive grant program to projects that help strengthen supply chains, help make goods more affordable, and are located in rural or disadvantaged communities. The funding will go to 26 transportation projects nationwide. The bipartisan law has increased INFRA by over 50 percent. Over the next five years, $8 billion will be provided to the INFRA program, including the $1.5 billion made available in this round of funding. The funding project applications are evaluated based on safety, how they support freight movement and job creation, their efforts to address climate change and resiliency, impacts on equity and quality of life, how they apply innovative technology, their cost effectiveness, and demonstrated project readiness. Additionally, USDOT has created a new streamlined process to reduce the burden on state and local entities. Applicants were able to submit one application for three different grant programs, including INFRA and two new programs, the Rural Surface Transportation Grant program (RURAL), and the National Infrastructure Project Assistance program (Mega). The recipients of RURAL and Mega grants will be announced in the coming months. The full list of proposed awards can be found on the Department of Transportation's website: More information can be found on the Department's INFRA website. New Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation (CMRA) Portal The U.S. Department of Commerce has released a new website to help communities across the country understand the real-time climate -related hazards in their area, analyze projected long- term exposure to those hazards, and identify federal funds to support climate resilience projects for their communities. Commerce is calling the website the Climate Mapping for Resilience and Adaptation, or CMRA portal. The goal is to help federal, state, and local governments as well as non-profit organization learn about climate hazards impacting their communities. The CMRA portal consolidates data from across the federal government to assess information on past, present, and project future climate conditions to support planners and managers in assessing their exposure to climate - related hazards such as drought, extreme heat, coastal and inland flooding, and wildfires. The portal also provides information on relevant federal funding resources from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and recently passed Inflation Reduction Act. (� Page 8 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 The CMRA portal can be accessed here. A White House Fact Sheet with more details on the actions can be found here. White House Student Debt Relief Program President Biden announced his Administration's plan for student debt relief this August. On September 20, the White House released more information, announcing that it expects its debt relief program to provide more breathing room to borrowers in all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The debt relief plan would provide up to $20,000 in debt relief to Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 to other borrowers. The Biden-Harris Administration expects more than 40 million borrowers will be eligible for this student debt relief. California is currently listed as the state and/or jurisdiction with the highest number of eligible borrowers. The white house has recorded an estimated 3,549,300 eligible borrowers eligible for student debt relief and 2,340,600 Pell borrowers who are eligible. The idea is that the student debt relief program will help borrowers and families continue to recover from the pandemic and be prepared to resume student loan payments in January 2023. Nearly 90% of the relief dollars will go to individuals earning less than $75,000 per year. By targeting the debt relief program to borrowers with higher economic needs, the Biden- Administration hopes to address the neediest population and address the racial wealth gap. The application for student debt relief is set to be released in early October. The Department is advising that borrowers apply before November 15th to receive relief before the payment pause expires on December 31, 2022. EPA Launches New National Office Dedicated to Advancing Environmental Justice and Civil Rights The EPA's historic Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights will position the agency to better advance environmental justice, enforce civil rights laws in overburdened communities, and deliver new grants and technical assistance. More than 200 EPA staff in EPA headquarters across 10 regions will be dedicated to solving environmental challenges in underserved communities. These staff will engage with communities with environmental justice concerns to understand their needs, as well as Tribal, state, and local partners; manage and disburse historic levels of grants and technical assistance; work with other EPA offices to incorporate environmental justice into the agency's programs, policies, and processes, as allowed by law; and ensure EPA funding recipients comply with applicable civil rights laws. The new office will oversee the implementation and delivery of a $3 billion climate and environmental justice block grant program created by the Inflation Reduction Act. There is a broad coalition of supporters for this new national program including Congressman G.K. Butterfield, Governor Roy Cooper, Senator Tom Carper, Chairman Frank Pallone, Senator Jeff Merkley, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, and more The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation On September 20, the U.S. Departments of Energy (DOE) and Transportation (DOT) announced Gabe Klein as the Executive Director for the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation which was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. He is the former commissioner of the Chicago Department of Transportation and director of the Washington, D.C., District Department of Transportation. He will now oversee efforts to support the development of $7.5 billion to build a (� Page 9 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 national electric vehicle charging network throughout the country. Under Klein's leadership, the Joint Office will support states, cities, and local communities with implementing investments in zero -emission passenger, transit, and heavy-duty vehicles that support the Justice40 Initiative goals of delivering 40% of the benefits from federal climate and clean energy investment to underserved communities. These efforts will also support President Biden's national goal for half of all new United States passenger vehicle sales to be EVs by 2030 (� Page 10 DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FBAD57E-537E-47F8-B9B6-AA097706BFD8 City of Tustin Priority State Legislation Matrix 2022 California State Legislative Session Updated 10.5.22 Bill Bill Summary Bill Status Position City Advocacy AB 1445 (Levine) Planning and Would, commencing January 1, 2025, require that a council of governments, a zoning: regional delegate subregion, or the Department of Housing and Community Development, as Location: 9/7/2022-A.
