(1) Existing law establishes the California Statewide Housing Plan, which serves as a state housing plan for all relevant purposes, that incorporates a statement of housing goals, policies, and objectives, as well as specified segments. Existing law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to update and provide a revision of the plan to the Legislature every 4 years, as provided. This bill would revise and recast those provisions related to the California Statewide Housing Plan. The bill would, starting with any update or revision to the plan on or after January 1, 2023, require the plan to include specified information, including, among other things, the number of affordable units needed to meet the state's affordable housing needs and recommendations for modernizing statutory and regulatory terminology. The bill would require the department to publish and make the plan available to the public on the department's internet website. (2) Existing law requires the department, on or before December 31 of each year, to submit an annual report containing specified information to the Governor and both houses of the Legislature on the operations and accomplishments during the previous fiscal year of the housing programs administered by the department. This bill would require the department to develop and publish on its internet website an annual report by December 31 of each year that includes specified information regarding grant programs that are administered by the department, including the time between the issuance of award letters and the delivery of the standard agreement to the awardee and a comparison of how the time between the issuance of the award letters, delivery of the standard agreement, and execution of the standard agreement varies across department-administered programs. (3) Existing law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. That law requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to determine whether the housing element is in substantial compliance with specified provisions of that law. That law also requires the department to notify a city, county, or city and county that the city, county, or city and county is in violation of state law if the department finds that the housing element or an amendment to the housing element does not substantially comply with specified provisions of the law. This bill would require the department to develop and publish on its internet website an annual report by December 31 of each year that includes specified information regarding land use oversight actions related to housing, including the number of land use oversight actions related to housing taken against cities and counties, outcomes of those oversight actions, and the median time between the initiation of each oversight action and its resolution.

Sponsored bills
Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, generally prohibits a manufacturer, winegrower, distiller, bottler, or wholesaler, among other licensees, or agents of these licensees, from paying a retailer for advertising. The act creates a variety of exceptions from this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee that is an owner, manager, or major tenant at a specified arena in the County of Orange or the County of Los Angeles. This bill would delete the above-described exception as it applies to the County of Orange. The bill would instead authorize specified licensees to sponsor events promoted by, and to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale licensee that is the owner, operator, agent of the operator, or sole assignee of the operator's advertising rights of a mixed-use district located in the County of Orange. The bill would condition this authorization based on specified requirements, including that the mixed-use district consist of at least 90 acres and include office, residential, retail, and other uses, all of which are situated on land surrounding a fully enclosed arena with a fixed seating capacity in excess of 18,000 seats. The bill would authorize the advertising space or time to be purchased only in connection with retail, dining, entertainment, and events conducted on the grounds of the district and would regulate the location of the advertising that is authorized. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for certain licensees to induce, through coercion or other illegal means, the holder of a wholesaler's license to fulfill contractual obligations, as specified, and for an on-sale licensee to solicit certain licensees to purchase advertising space or time, as specified. By creating crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Orange. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

This measure would designate a specified portion of Westside Parkway on State Route 58 in the County of Kern as the Harvey L. Hall Memorial Highway.

This measure would request that the Congress of the United States and the United States Environmental Protection Agency take all measures necessary to prevent further damage to California's citizens, wildlife, and natural resources by the dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane waste dumped in the waters near Santa Catalina Island.
