   An act to repeal Section 65586 of the Government Code, relating to

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1450, as introduced, Evans.   Land use: housing elements.
   Existing law requires a city, county, or city and county to
prepare and adopt a general plan for its jurisdiction that contains
certain mandatory elements including a housing element. Existing law
requires housing elements to comply with specified law by October
1981. A housing element that was adopted before October 1, 1981 and
conformed with specified housing element guidelines adopted by the
Department of Housing and Community Development is deemed to be in
compliance with this requirement.
   This bill would repeal those provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
