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.
Committee action: AB 712 was moved out of committee on a roll call. The clerk recorded Assemblymember Alanis and Assemblymember Ta voting aye; the transcript records that Republican members did not vote.
