CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 2772


Introduced by Assembly Member Quirk-Silva

February 15, 2024


An act to amend Section 17929 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to housing.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2772, as introduced, Quirk-Silva. State Housing Law: affordable and market-rate units.
Existing law, the State Housing Law, requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and regulations for the protection of the health, safety, and general welfare of the occupant and the public relating to specified residential structures, as provided, which apply throughout the state.
Existing law, the State Housing Law, requires that a mixed-income multifamily structure provide occupants of the affordable housing units within the structure the same access to the common entrances to that structure as the occupants of the market-rate housing units. That law also requires that the occupants of the affordable housing units within the mixed-income multifamily structure have the same access to the common areas and amenities of that structure as the occupants of the market-rate housing units. Existing law also prohibits a mixed-income multifamily structure from isolating the affordable housing units within that structure to a specific floor or an area on a specific floor. Existing law defines terms for purposes of this law.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the above-described provisions relating to mixed-income multifamily structures.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
