Cameron Smyth, 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 housing law. Specifically, this bill :
1)Corrects a drafting error in housing element law that
incorrectly refers to the planning period of the general plan
rather than 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errors, and repeals several outdated provisions of code.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
