                                   Ed Chau, Chair
                  SB 391 (DeSaulnier) - As Amended:  August 8, 2013

            permitted by law, excluding real estate instruments, papers,  
            or notices recorded in connection with a transfer subject to a  
            documentary transfer tax.  

          3)Defines real estate instrument, paper, or notice as a document  
            relating to real property, including but not limited to the

            deposited into the Trust Fund.

          5)Requires a county to pay HCD any interest, at the legal rate,  
            on any funds that are not transferred within 30 days of the  
            end of a quarter.

          6)Requires any interest or other increment resulting from the  
            investment of money in the Trust Fund to be deposited into the  
            Trust Fund.

            fund except for the Surplus Money Investment Fund. 

          8)Allows money in the Trust Fund, upon appropriation by the  
            Legislature to be used to support the development,

          1)Allows up to 5% of the Trust Fund to be used to administer the  
            housing programs that receive an appropriation from the Trust  
            Fund.

          2)Requires HCD, in consultation with the California Housing  
            Finance Agency (CalHFA), the California Tax Credit Allocation  
            Committee (TCAC), and the California Debt Limit Allocation  
            Committee (CDLAC), to develop a California Homes and Jobs  
            Trust Fund Investment Strategy (investment strategy).

          3)Requires HCD to submit the first investment strategy to the  
            Legislature as part of the Governor's May Revise of the Budget  
            Act in 2014-15 and every five years after as part of the  
            Budget Act beginning in 2019-20.

          4)Requires the investment strategy to do all of the following:

             a)   Identify the statewide needs, goals, objectives, and  
               outcomes for housing for a five-year time period;

             b)   Promote a geographically balanced distribution of funds,  
               including consideration of a direct allocation of funds to  
               local governments; 









                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  3

             c)   Emphasize investments that serve households that are at  
               or below 60% of area median income (AMI); and

             d)   Meet the following minimum objectives: 

               i)     Encourage economic development and job creation by  
                 meeting the housing needs of a growing workforce up to  
                 120% of AMI;

               ii)    Identify opportunities to coordinate among state  
                 departments and agencies to achieve greater efficiencies;  
                 increase the amount of federal investment in housing  
                 production, services, and operating costs; and promote  
                 energy efficiency in housing produced; 

               iii)   Incentivize the use and coordination of  
                 nontraditional funding sources, including philanthropic  
                 funds, local realignment funds, non-housing tax  
                 increment, federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care  
                 Act funds, and other resources;

               iv)    Incentivize innovative approaches that produce  
                 savings to local and state services by reducing the  
                 instability of housing for frequent high-cost users of  
                 institutions such as hospitals, jails, detoxification  
                 facilities, psychiatric hospitals, and emergency  
                 shelters; and 

               v)     Incentivize regional partnerships that serve people  
                 who have a high level of housing instability. 

           1) Requires HCD to hold at least four public workshops in  
             different regions of the state to inform development of the  
             investment strategy. 

           2) Requires expenditure requests contained in the Governor's  
             proposed budget to be consistent with the investment  
             strategy. 

           3) Requires moneys in the Trust Fund to be appropriated through  
             the annual budget act. 

           4) Requires the State Auditor to conduct periodic audits to  
             determine if HCD is awarding the annual allocation to  
             individual programs in a timely manner and consistent with  








                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  4

             the Act.

           5) Requires HCD to provide the following information in its  
             annual report to the Legislature:

             a)   How funds were allocated in the prior year;

             b)   Efforts to promote geographic balance when distributing  
               the funds;

             c)   An assessment of the impact of the Trust Fund on job  
               creation and the economy; and 

             d)   The effectiveness of programs directed toward persons  
               who are homeless or at risk of homelessness at keeping  
               those persons housed. 

          1)Requires the Department in Industrial Relations (DIR) to  
            monitor and enforce compliance with prevailing wage  
            requirements for any construction contract on a project in  
            excess of $1 million that is funded in whole or in part by the  
            Trust Fund.

          2)Excludes from DIR's monitoring and enforcement construction  
            projects with a collective bargaining agreement that binds all  
            contractors performing work on the project and that includes a  
            mechanism for resolving disputes regarding the payment of  
            wages. 

          3)Requires DIR to charge each person or entity awarding a  
            construction contract for the reasonable and directly related  
            costs of monitoring and enforcing compliance with prevailing  
            wage requirements. 

          4)Allows DIR, with the approval of the Department of Finance, to  
            from time to time amend the amount DIR charges for monitoring  
            and enforcement. 

          5)Prohibits DIR from charging more than one-fourth of 1% of the  
            amount of a construction contract to fund its monitoring and  
            enforcement activities.  

           EXISTING LAW  

          1)Establishes a number of programs at HCD and CalHFA to make  








                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  5

            housing more affordable to California families and  
            individuals, including the following main programs:

             a)   The Multifamily Housing Program, which funds the new  
               construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent  
               and transitional rental homes for lower-income households  
               through loans to local governments, non-profit developers,  
               and for-profit developers.

             b)   The Joe Serna, Jr., Farmworker Housing Program, which  
               funds the development of ownership or rental homes for  
               agricultural workers through grants to local governments  
               and non-profit organizations.

             c)   The Emergency Housing and Assistance Program, which  
               funds emergency shelters and transitional homes for  
               homeless individuals and families through grants to  
               counties and non-profit entities for rehabilitation,  
               renovation, expansion, site acquisition, and equipment.

             d)   The CalHome Program, which funds downpayment assistance,  
               home rehabilitation, counseling, self-help mortgage  
               assistance, and technical assistance for self-help and  
               shared housing through grants and loans.

             e)   The California Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program,  
               which aids first-time homebuyers with downpayments and/or  
               closing costs.

          1)Authorizes a county to adopt an ordinance authorizing a fee  
            for recording and indexing every instrument, paper, or notice  
            required or permitted by law to be recorded. The base rate of  
            the fee is $10 for recording the first page and $3 for each  
            additional page. The recorder has discretion to charge  
            additional fees including:

             a)   Three dollars ($3) per page on  every extra page or  
               sheet of the document if the document does not conform to  
               the dimension requirements in statute;

             b)   One dollar  ($1) for recording the first page on every  
               instrument, paper, or notice required or permitted by law  
               to be recorded to fund a social security truncation  
               program.(Government Code Section 27361)









                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  6

          1)Exempts public agencies from paying a fee for filing any  
            document or paper in the performance of any official service  
            or for the filing of any stipulation or agreement that may  
            constitute an appearance in any court by any other party to  
            the stipulation or agreement. (Government Code Section 6103) 

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  According to the Senate Appropriations  
          Committee, the fee would generate unknown revenue ranging from  
          $300 million to $720 million per year depending on the volume of  
          recorded documents.  Estimated annual administrative costs would  
          be approximately $5.4 million to fund up to 47 positions at HCD,  
          which would be fully covered by fees collected.  Costs would be  
          in the range of $250,000 to $350,000 in 2016-17 for BSA to  
          conduct an initial audit, with ongoing periodic audit costs in  
          the range of $150,000 to $250,000. All BSA audit costs would be  
          fully covered by fees collected.

           COMMENTS  :   

           Purpose of the bill  : According to the author, "everyone in  
          California needs a safe and affordable place to call home. Rents  
          and mortgages within the reach of working families are critical  
          to maintaining California's business competitiveness. For U.S.  
          military veterans, former foster youth, families with children,  
          people with disabilities, seniors on fixed incomes, and other  
          vulnerable Californians, the housing crisis isn't over. In fact,  
          millions of Californians are caught in the "perfect storm" -  
          mortgages remain out of reach, credit standards have tightened,  
          and the foreclosure crisis has pushed more people into a rental  
          market already suffering from decades of short supply - leading  
          to record-setting rent increases. The most vulnerable, who  
          struggled to make rent before the foreclosure crisis, face even  
          more uncertainty in today's rental market. They risk joining the  
          130,000+ Californians who are homeless on any given night."

           Previous state funding for housing  : Historically, the state has  
          invested in low- and moderate-income housing primarily by  
          providing funding for construction. Because of the high cost of  
          land and construction and the subsidy needed to keep housing  
          affordable to residents, affordable housing is expensive to  
          build. Developers typically use multiple sources of financing,  
          including voter-approved housing bonds, state and federal  
          low-income housing tax credits, private bank financing, and  
          local matching dollars. 









                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  7

          Voter-approved bonds have been an important source of funding to  
          support the construction of affordable housing. Proposition 46  
          of 2002 and Proposition 1C of 2006 together provided $4.95  
          billion for affordable housing. These funds financed the  
          construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of 57,220  
          affordable apartments, including 2,500 supportive homes for  
          people experiencing homelessness, and over 11,600 shelter  
          spaces. In addition, these funds have helped 57,290 families  
          become or remain homeowners. Nearly all of these funds have been  
          awarded. 

          Until 2011, the Community Redevelopment Law required  
          redevelopment agencies to set aside 20% of all tax increment  
          revenue to increase, improve, and preserve the community's  
          supply of low- and moderate-income housing.  In fiscal year  
          2009-10, redevelopment agencies collectively deposited $1.075  
          billion of property tax increment revenues into their low- and  
          moderate-income housing funds. With the elimination of  
          redevelopment agencies, this source of funding for affordable  
          housing is no longer available.

           Funding mechanism  : Although an important source of funding in  
          the past for affordable housing, voter-approved bonds are not a  
          permanent or reliable source. The state's credit rating over the  
          past few years has raised questions regarding the fiscal  
          prudence of relying significantly on bonds to support state  
          affordable housing investment. To provide for a stable and  
          permanent source of funding for affordable housing, several  
          states have set up state housing trust funds funded by a  
          document recording fee. SB 391 would establish the California  
          Homes and Jobs Trust Fund, to be funded by a $75 fee on recorded  
          real estate documents, excluding those recorded in connection  
          with the sale of a property. Estimates suggest that the  
          recording fee would generate an average of $525 million a year  
          for affordable housing. 

           How the Trust Fund can be used:  SB 391 authorizes funds in the  
          Trust Fund to be appropriated to support the development,  
          acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of low- and  
          moderate-income housing.   Moderate-income housing is generally  
          defined as housing affordable to households making up to 120% of  
          the area median income (AMI). Included in the list of eligible  
          uses for the Trust Fund are transitional and permanent rental  
          housing, including necessary services and operating subsidies;  
          homeownership opportunities; emergency shelters and rapid  








                                                                  SB 391
                                                                  Page  8

          rehousing services; accessibility modifications; and efforts to  
          acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed, vacant, or blighted homes.  
          Unlike voter-approved bond funds, the Trust Fund could be used  
          to support services and operating expenses for supportive and  
          transitional housing.   

           Investment strategy  : SB 391 gives the Legislature the authority  
          to appropriate funds that are deposited into the Trust Fund. In  
          order to direct that investment through an informed and  
          strategic process, the bill requires HCD, in consultation with  
          other relevant state housing agencies and committees, to develop  
          an investment strategy for the Trust Fund. HCD would be required  
          to submit the first investment strategy to the Legislature as  
          part of the May revision to the Governor's proposed budget in  
          2014-15.  Every five years after, beginning in 2019-20, HCD  
          would be required to revise the investment strategy. To inform  
          the investment strategy, HCD must hold four public hearings  
          throughout the state. HCD is already required to develop a  
          Statewide Housing Plan every four years to identify the  
          statewide needs, goals, objectives, and outcomes for housing,  
          which would inform the investment strategy. 

          In preparing the investment strategy, HCD would be required to  
          promote a geographically balanced distribution of the funds,  
          including some consideration of providing funds directly to  
          local governments. In addition, the investment strategy would  
          have to emphasize investments in housing affordable to  
          households at or below 60% of AMI, generally referred to as  
          low-, very low- and extremely low-income households.  The  
          investment strategy would also have to address the following  
          minimum objectives:

                 Encourage economic development and job creation by  
               meeting the housing needs of a growing workforce up to 120%  
               of AMI;

                 Identify opportunities to coordinate among state  
               departments and agencies to achieve greater efficiencies;  
               increase the amount of federal investment in housing  
               production, services, and operating costs; and promote  
               energy efficiency in housing produced; 

                 Incentivize the use and coordination of nontraditional  
               funding sources, including philanthropic funds, local  
               realignment funds, non-housing tax increment, federal  








                                                                 SB 391
                                                                  Page  9

               Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act funds, and other  
               resources;

                 Incentivize innovative approaches that produce savings  
               to local and state services by reducing the instability of  
               housing for frequent high-cost users of institutions like  
               hospitals, jails, detoxification facilities, psychiatric  
               hospitals, and emergency shelters; and 

                 Incentivize regional partnerships that serve people that  
               have a high cost of housing instability. 

           Accountability and reporting  : SB 391 requires HCD to submit an  
          annual report to the Legislature that describes how the funds  
          were expended for the last year and efforts to promote a  
          geographically balanced distribution of funds. The annual report  
          also must include an assessment of the effect the Trust Fund has  
          had on the economy overall and on job creation. In order to  
          insure that investments from the Trust Fund are achieving  
          results, the annual report must also determine if programs or  
          entities that receive funding to house or support persons who  
          are homelessness or at risk of homelessness are successful at  
          keeping people housed.   
           
          Arguments in support:  Several organizations representing  
          businesses, including the Bay Area Council, the Los Angeles Area  
          Chamber of Commerce, and the Orange County Business Council,  
          support creating a sustainable and self-renewing source of  
          funding that will leverage billions in federal and local funds  
          and bank loans to develop and operate housing affordable to  
          families, seniors, people with disabilities, and persons  
          experiencing homelessness. The sponsors of the bill estimate  
          that the Trust Fund could generate 29,000 jobs annually,  
          primarily in the construction sector. 
           
          Arguments in opposition  :  The County Recorders Association of  
          California and its members point out that some recordings or  
          transactions involve more than one document, in which case the  
          per-document fee will add to the already substantial cost of  
          recording. In addition, county recorders will encounter  
          significant increases in staff time to collect fees and address  
          unsatisfied customers. Opponents have also argued that the fee  
          should be reduced and applied to all documents, including those  
          reordered in the sale of a property, because those purchasing a  
          property have the means to pay the recording fee required by

                                                                  Page  10

          this bill.  

          Double referred  : If SB 391 passes this committee it will be  
          referred to the Committee on Labor and Employment.
