Summary

The bill requires every city and county in the Sacramento‑San Joaquin Valley to update their general plans and zoning to match the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. It blocks new development, permits, and subdivision maps in flood‑hazard zones unless local officials can show the area meets an “urban level” of flood protection, which must be reached by 2025 statewide but by 2030 in several designated sub‑areas. The law also lets the state make those jurisdictions pay a share of flood damage until the required protection is in place.
