AB 1157 (Kalra) – Residential Rent Control (Oppose)
AB 1157 imposes permanent statewide rent caps on all rental housing, including single-family homes, ADUs, and individually owned condominiums. The measure undermines the AB 1482 compromise and would reduce housing supply while discouraging needed investment.
STATUS: Was heard in the Assembly Judiciary Committee and FAILED to get enough voted to advance. The measure is dead for the remainder of the year. However, the author could introduce a similar measure before the bill introduction deadline.

AB 1439 (R. Garcia) – Pension Investments and Labor Standards (Oppose)
AB 1439 restricts pension fund investments in development projects unless they meet specific labor standards, creating legal conflicts with existing agreements and reducing overall housing investment. The bill increases project costs and further strains statewide affordability.
STATUS: Passed the Assembly Public Employees and Retirement Committee on a 5-0 vote. The bill will be heard next Thursday by the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

AB 914 (Garcia) – Indirect Source Rule Fee Authority (Oppose)
AB 914 grants CARB broad authority to impose regional fees and duplicative regulations on businesses already subject to stringent air rules, increasing costs and creating regulatory inconsistencies across the state. The bill threatens supply-chain operations and burdens multiple sectors.

AB 1313 (Papan) – Statewide Stormwater Permit Mandate- (Oppose)
AB 1313 would require a new statewide stormwater permit for large commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, imposing massive upfront and ongoing compliance costs on property owners, schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and places of worship. Modeled on an untested Los Angeles–area program, the bill could result in tens of billions of dollars in statewide costs while exposing covered entities to increased litigation through a new private right of action.
STATUS: The bill has yet to be scheduled for a committee hearing vote.

SB 667 (Archuleta) – Rail Operations and Safety Restrictions - (Oppose)
SB 667 would impose new operational restrictions and liability exposure on freight rail operations, creating significant uncertainty for rail-dependent supply chains across California. By expanding regulatory requirements beyond existing federal rail safety standards, the bill risks disrupting goods movement, increasing costs for shippers and consumers, and undermining statewide economic and infrastructure reliability.
STATUS: Passed Senate Transportation Committee on a 13- 3 vote on Tuesday. Will be heard by the Senate Appropriations Committee next Tuesday, January 20, 2028
