AB 2840 has been assigned to the Senate Governance and Finance Committee and will be set for a hearing in the next couple weeks.
CBPA was actively urging the Senate Governance and Finance Committee to review the bill over concerns that it upends local planning authority for cities and counties, as well as undermines the nation’s strictest environmental law, CEQA.
Our focus is now on the 5 Senators sitting on this committee, including the Chair, Senator Caballero, along with Neilson, Durazo, Wiener, and Hertzberg. If you have contacts with these legislators now is the time to reach out.
We are working around the clock with all our coalition members, including CalChamber, CBPA, NAIOP, CBIA and many more to kill this bill. We are now contacting Senate offices to clarify the negative impact this bill would have on their constituents locally and the state, even if they don’t reside in the affected counties and cities.
Stay tuned for information on when this bill gets set for a hearing. We are in a 3 week sprint to defeat this bill!
THANK YOU to all of you who have helped on this bill, and please stay tuned for more AB 2840 information in the coming weeks.
