Legislative Update

March 2025

California Land Use Law & Policy Reporter, Volume 34, Number 6


This Legislative Update is designed to apprise our readers of potentially important land use legislation. When a significant bill is introduced, we will provide a short description. Updates will follow, and if enacted, we will provide additional coverage.

We strive to be current, but deadlines require us to complete our legislative review several weeks before publication. Therefore, bills covered can be substantively amended or conclusively acted upon by the date of publication.
