ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Norma Torres, Chair
AB 2762 (Committee on Housing and Community Development) - As
Introduced: February 23, 2010
SUBJECT : Housing and community development: housing omnibus
bill.
SUMMARY : Makes technical and non-controversial changes to
various sections of the law dealing with housing. Specifically,
this bill :
1)Corrects a drafting error in housing element law that
incorrectly refers to the planning period of the general plan
rather the planning period of the housing element and includes
uncodified language explaining the reason for the amendment.
2)Exempts properties that house victims of domestic violence
shelters from the requirement that a property's address be
listed on the Notice of Affordability Restrictions that is
required to be recorded under redevelopment law.
3)Allows the guidelines for the Affordable Housing Revolving
Development and Acquisition Program to remain in force for the
duration of the initial loans and only requires regulations
for future requests for qualifications (RFQs) funded with loan
repayments.
4)Requires the Bureau of State Audits (BSA) to conduct periodic
audits of all programs funded under Proposition 1C, the
Housing and Emergency Shelter Act of 2006. Current law
already requires periodic audits of most programs funded by
Proposition 1C, but omits the Infill Infrastructure Grant
Program and the Transit Oriented Development Program.
5)Corrects numerous statutory cross-references, fixes numbering
errors, and repeals several outdated provisions of code.
EXISTING LAW includes numerous provisions related to housing.
FISCAL EFFECT : Unknown

The Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development is
authoring this year's housing omnibus bill as a cost-effective
way of making a number of minor, non-controversial changes to
statute at one time. There is no known opposition to any of the
items in the bill. If issues arise that cannot be resolved, the
provision of concern will be deleted from the bill.
Double referred : The Assembly Committee on Rules referred AB
2762 to the Committee on Housing and Community Development and
Local Government. If AB 2762 passes this committee, the bill
must be referred to the Committee on Local Government.
