CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 1775

Introduced by Assembly Member Reyes

February 22, 2019

---

An act to amend Section 66000 of the Government Code, relating to land use.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1775, as introduced, Reyes. Development fees: definition.

The Mitigation Fee Act authorizes a local agency to establish, increase, or impose various fees as a condition of approval of a development project, if specified requirements are met. The act defines a “fee” for these purposes to mean a monetary exaction other than a tax or special assessment, as specified, that is charged by a local agency to the applicant in connection with approval of a development project for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project, and excludes from that definition certain fees, including, among others, fees for processing applications for governmental regulatory actions or approvals, fees collected under development agreements, or fees collected pursuant to agreements with redevelopment agencies, as provided.

This bill would expand the definition of a “fee” for these provisions by eliminating those exclusions.
