SB 1426 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Planning and zoning: annual report.

Summary
Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires each county and each city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and specified land outside its boundaries, that includes, among other specified mandatory elements, a housing element. That law requires the planning agency of a city or county to provide by April 1 of each year an annual report to, among other entities, the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the Department of Housing and Community Development, that includes, among other specified information, the status of a development of land disposed, as described, the information each county and city is required to include in its central inventory of surplus land and report, as specified, and the number of applications for parcel maps for urban lot splits, as provided. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes and reorganize various provisions relating to the annual report requirements, including the requirements described above, and would make related nonsubstantive conforming changes. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

06/30/26 - Chaptered SB1426 · 2 edits
MINOR
The diff shows the removal of the full chaptered/enacted text of SB 1426 (Chapter 56, approved June 30, 2026) and its replacement with a simplified bill text header reading 'Bill Text - SB-1426 Planning and zoning: annual report.' This appears to be a formatting or presentation change in how the bill is displayed, transitioning from the complete enacted chapter format (with page numbers, legislative counsel's digest, and full statutory text) to a plain bill text view. No substantive policy changes are evident from the visible portion of the diff.
TECHNICAL

The entire chaptered version of the bill was removed, including the legislative counsel's digest, all section amendments (Sections 54222.3.1, 54230, 65400, 65400.1, 65583.1, 65625, 65852.21), page numbers, and the urgency clause declaring immediate effect.

A simplified bill text header was added: 'Bill Text - SB-1426 Planning and zoning: annual report.' along with a 'skip to content' navigation element, suggesting a web-based or simplified document format.
