Summary

The bill directs the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to compile, standardize, and put online a core set of hazard, natural‑resource, and agricultural data by July 1 2027, and to issue guidance on its use by Jan 1 2028. Regional planning agencies must incorporate these datasets in any new or substantially revised regional plans after that date, map how they were used, and follow a prioritization approach that avoids high‑risk or sensitive areas. The bill also orders the California Transportation Commission to study ways to make the Active Transportation Program more equitable and easier to apply, with a report due Jan 1 2028, and repeals that study requirement in 2032.
