                                   Ed Chau, Chair
            AB 2753 (Committee on Housing and Community Development) - As  
                              Amended:  April 22, 2014
           
          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)   Provides that down payment assistance funded by The  
               Extra Credit Teacher Home Purchase Program can be used with  
               a Federal Housing Administration first mortgage.  

             2)   Provides the Department of Housing and Community  
               Development with one more year to complete the building  
               standards for the installation of carbon monoxide detectors  
               in hotel and motel dwelling units as part of the upcoming  
               regular building code cycle.  Existing hotel and motel  
               dwelling units would not be required to be equipped with  
               carbon monoxide detectors until January 1, 2017, when the  
               2016 California Building Code takes effect.  

             3)   Corrects numerous statutory cross-references and fixes  
               numbering errors.

           EXISTING LAW  includes numerous provisions related to housing.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   Unknown.

           COMMENTS  :   

          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.
