Summary

The bill changes California’s definition of exempt surplus land, forcing local agencies to set aside at least 25 % of units (or 500 units, whichever is higher) for lower‑income households and to build at a minimum of 10 units per acre. It adds reporting, notification, and civil‑penalty requirements for agencies that dispose of such land without meeting the new standards. The measure was passed by the Legislature but was vetoed by the governor.
