AB 713, as introduced, Alanis. General plan: housing elements.

Existing law requires a city or county to prepare and adopt a general plan for its jurisdiction that contains certain mandatory elements, including a housing element. For a housing element or amendment adopted on or after January 1, 2021, existing law requires the planning agency to submit to the Department of Housing and Community Development an electronic copy of its inventory of land suitable for residential development, as developed pursuant to specified law.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in the above-described provisions relating to the submission of electronic copies of an inventory of land suitable for residential development.
