CBPA is advocating for AB 2243 (Wicks; D-Oakland), which would expand and modify provisions of the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022. ​The legislation focuses on allowing residential development on commercial sites and​ provides certain incentives encouraging adaptive reuse. The bill also expands the definition of retail sites that can qualify.

AB 2243 has passed through the Assembly and is currently in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill joins three other CBPA supported adaptive reuse bills on our top ten priority bill list. Three out of four of these bills remain in play while one of them failed to make it out of its first house.

The initiatives listed below have been approved for placement on the November 5, 2024 ballot. Included on the list is Proposition 36, the retail theft measure endorsed and financially supported by our industry.

• Proposition 2 - $10B School Facilities Bond
• Proposition 3 - Proposition 8 Repeal
• Proposition 4 - $10B Climate Bond
• Proposition 5 - Vote Thresholds
• Proposition 6 - Ban Mandatory Prison Labor
• Proposition 32 - $18/hr Minimum Wage
• Proposition 33 - Rent Control
• Proposition 34 - Restricts Spending by AIDS Healthcare Foundation
• Proposition 35 - MCOTax
• Proposition 36 - Retail Theft/Prop 47 Reform
