Speakers repeatedly stated their opposition with brief remarks. For example, Eric Barrios, who identified himself as with Tundra Fees, said, “I oppose AB 928.” Craig Angley of Tulare County said he is a member of the California APG and likewise stated, “I oppose AB 928.” Several speakers said the bill threatened livelihoods and cultural practices; one commenter told the committee the measure would “kill thousands, if not millions, of birds.” Jesse So, who identified himself as secretary of the APG during public comment, said he “highly oppose[d]” the bill.

Most public commenters made short oral statements limited to name, organization (when provided) and position. Committee staff announced that testimony on suspense-file bills would be limited and that attendees should follow posted rules for decorum. The transcript records many individual names and business affiliations; the committee adjourned after hearing public comment and did not take a committee vote on AB 928 during the public-comment sequence recorded in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Appropriations Committee (1)","oneSentenceSummary","Dozens of public commenters filled the Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing room on April 30, 2025, to speak against AB 928.

The presenter described AB 712 as an enforcement bill that would apply the same requirements that exist in the Housing Accountability Act to other state housing laws. The bill also would end the practice of public agencies asking housing development applicants to indemnify local governments against lawsuits when an agency violates applicants’ rights. The presenter said the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) would incur minor costs to provide technical assistance and to inform local governments of compliance concerns.

Assemblymember Quirk-Silva presented the bill as a companion to earlier legislation intended to improve shelter conditions, saying it would strengthen state oversight, empower shelter residents, and standardize reporting requirements.

Quirk-Silva told members that California has an estimated 13,000 homeless shelters and that compliance with a prior shelter-accountability statute (AB 362) has been poor. “CalMatters, a CalMatters investigation found that only 5 of California's 58 counties and just 4 of the state's 478 cities have submitted reports as required by law,” the presenter said. AB 750 would require shelters to post signage about residents’ rights and reporting procedures, provide that information at intake, mandate standardized reporting (including when no complaints are filed), and implement penalties for noncompliance, including withholding state funding from jurisdictions that fail to report.

Quirk-Silva described the measure as a stronger enforcement tool: “This definitely is the hammer,” she said, while acknowledging some jurisdictions may resist. The presenter said the bill would strengthen accountability after what she described as widespread noncompliance and long shelter stays for some residents.

Assemblymember Quirk-Silva, who presented the bill, said the measure would remove barriers to housing development by allowing the California Home Act (SB 9 of 2021) to apply to historic districts so long as projects do not demolish existing historic structures.

AB 1061, Quirk-Silva said, aims to “prevent the misuse of historic preservation laws to block new housing and expand opportunities for homeownership and multiunit housing in more neighborhoods.” Max Dubler, policy manager at California YIMBY, told the committee the bill “sets out standards for SB 9 duplexes and lot splits in historic districts. It balances housing production and historic preservation by forbidding SB 9 projects at individually listed historic sites and requiring that these projects maintain the street facing appearance of homes that contribute to historic districts.”

The bill’s presenter said SB 9 has not produced a large number of permits since enactment in 2021, and that excluding historic neighborhoods from SB 9 has been a primary reason for that slow uptake. The presenter and a YIMBY witness told the committee local governments could charge planning fees to cover any related costs; Max Dubler described the fiscal impact as minimal.
