Assembly Bill No. 621

Introduced by Assembly Member Wagner

February 20, 2013

An act to amend Section 65401 of the Government Code, relating to land use.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 621, as introduced, Wagner. Land use: general plan: public works.

The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the city or county, and of any land outside its boundaries that bears relation to its planning. That law requires, if a general plan or portion thereof has been adopted, specified local government officials and entities to submit to a designated official agency a list of proposed public works recommended for the ensuing fiscal year. That law also requires the recipient agency to list and classify these recommendations and to prepare a coordinated program of proposed public works for the ensuing fiscal year.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those submission, listing, and coordinated program requirements.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
