SUBJECT : Housing omnibus bill
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This bill makes technical and non-controversial
changes to various sections of the law dealing with housing.
ANALYSIS : By combining multiple matters into one bill, the
Legislature can make minor changes to law in the most
cost-effective manner.
This bill includes the following provisions:
1. Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase (ECTHP) Program [Section
5] . The California Housing Finance Agency administers the
ECTHP Program to provide down payment assistance to teachers,

administrators, classified employees, and staff working in
high-priority schools who are first-time homebuyers.
Existing law requires a borrower to repay the loan upon sale.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) regulations provide
that FHA loans must be assumable, which means that ECTHP
loans cannot be coupled with FHA loans. Last year, AB 984
(Chau, Chapter 82, Statutes of 2013) changed the repayment
requirement for CalHFA's (California Housing Finance Agency)
other down payment assistance program to be compatible with
FHA financing. This bill likewise changes the repayment
requirement for the ECTHP Program to make it compatible with
FHA financing.
2. Carbon monoxide detectors in hotels and motels [Section 4] .
Existing law requires existing hotel and motel units with
fuel-burning appliances or attached garages to install carbon
monoxide detectors on or before January 1, 2016. To
facilitate compliance with the requirement, existing law also
requires the Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD), on or before July 1, 2014, to submit to the Building
Standards Commission (BSC) for adoption building standards
for the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in hotel
and motel units. However, the BSC will not adopt the next
California Building Code until 2016, and this code will not
take effect until January 1, 2017. In order to consolidate
these building standards with the normal building standards
revision process, this bill provides HCD with one more year
to submit the proposed building standards for the
installation of carbon monoxide detectors in hotel and motel
dwelling units and gives existing hotel and motel dwelling
owners until January 1, 2017, to equip units with carbon
monoxide detectors.
3. Correcting cross-references and numbering errors [Sections 1,
2, and 3] . This bill also corrects a number of statutory
cross-references and numbering errors.
Comments
The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee is
authoring this bill as a means of combining multiple,
non-controversial changes to statutes into one bill, so that the
Legislature can make minor amendments in a cost-effective
manner. There is no known opposition to any item in this bill,
