State-led County of Los Angeles disaster housing task force.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) now convenes the task force alone, rather than jointly with the Office of Emergency Services. OES remains a required member of the task force but no longer shares convener authority.

Legislative reporting frequency was reduced from quarterly (every quarter annually after April 1, 2026) to annual (annually after April 1, 2026).

A provision that would have made the reporting requirement inoperative on April 1, 2030 (pursuant to Government Code Section 10231.5) was removed from the enrolled version.

Removed 'Local governments' as a general category of task force members. Previously the task force included HCD, FEMA, OES, local governments (broadly), the City of Los Angeles, and the County of Los Angeles. Now it is limited to HCD, FEMA, OES, the City of Los Angeles, and the County of Los Angeles specifically.

Corrected typo 'streamling' to 'streamlining' in the bill summary and reorganized the summary paragraph structure.

Section numbering was adjusted (removing a duplicate subsection letter), though the new version appears to contain its own numbering inconsistencies (e.g., '(d) (1)' where '(e) (1)' would be expected).

The requirement for the task force to create and publish a central rebuilding database on HCD's website (including urgency ordinances, temporary housing information, and rebuilding best practices) was entirely removed.

The state disaster housing coordinator is now explicitly required to be housed within the Department of Housing and Community Development, rather than just being appointed by the task force without a specified location.

A new sunset provision (Section 50351) was added, repealing the entire chapter on June 30, 2028. The bill title was updated from 'add Chapter 11' to 'add and repeal Chapter 11' to reflect this.

Reporting frequency language was clarified from 'every quarter thereafter' to 'every quarter annually thereafter.'

The City of Los Angeles is now explicitly named as an entity that coordinates with the task force, alongside HCD, FEMA, OES, and local governments.

The County of Los Angeles is now explicitly named as an entity that coordinates with the task force.

A new requirement mandates the task force to create a central rebuilding database published on HCD's website. The database must include: (1) urgency ordinances adopted in response to the Palisades and Eaton fires plus any prior wildfires, (2) temporary housing information published by local governments in response to these and other wildfires, and (3) resources on other rebuilding best practices.
