Prepared by Precision Advocacy
This week’s update highlights priority legislation affecting counties, cities, and other local agencies, with a focus on measures being supported, opposed, or closely monitored by local government associations. The report covers significant proposals related to housing and land use, public works, transportation infrastructure, permitting, health and human services, homelessness, foster care, Medi-Cal administration, and behavioral health programs. With the legislature returning from summer recess and fiscal committee deadlines approaching, many of these bills are entering a critical stage of consideration.
Housing, Land Use, and Transportation Legislation
These measures address housing approvals and financing, land-use planning, CEQA, public works, transportation infrastructure, electric-vehicle permitting, accessory dwelling units, and related local-government responsibilities.
AB 956 (Quirk-Silva) Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units. Requires a local agency to ministerially approve up to two detached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and one junior accessory dwelling unit on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling, while clarifying that the agency is not required to allow all three units on the same lot. The bill also clarifies existing restrictions on covenants, conditions, or restrictions that unreasonably limit or prohibit ADU development.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Position: None – Cal Cities and the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) oppose AB 956 because it overrides locally adopted zoning plans and housing elements by requiring ministerial approval of two detached ADUs in residential and mixed-use zones, limiting local flexibility, community input, and consideration of neighborhood conditions.
AB 1198 (Haney) Public works: prevailing wages. Requires that beginning July 1, 2027, when the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations determines that prevailing wage rates have changed in a locality, the updated rate must apply to public works contracts awarded or advertised for bid after the change takes effect. The measure exempts 100% deed-restricted affordable housing projects from this requirement. It also establishes a process allowing contractors, awarding bodies, or labor representatives to petition the director within 20 days to review a wage determination, after which the director must investigate or hold a hearing and issue a final decision, generally within 20 days, which becomes effective 10 days after issuance and remains in effect until modified or replaced.
Status: Awaiting disposition on the Senate Appropriations suspense file
CSAC Position: Oppose – A coalition of local government organizations, including CSAC, Urban Counties of California (UCC), RCRC, Cal Cities, and the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), opposes AB 1198, arguing that the bill would create significant uncertainty and cost pressures for public works projects. The groups contend that allowing prevailing wage rate changes to apply during project timelines could lead to unexpected cost increases, frequent change orders, and difficulties accurately budgeting or completing infrastructure projects. Although the bill exempts affordable housing projects, the organizations state that it still threatens the viability of other critical public works and infrastructure projects.
AB 1457 (Bryan) General plan: environmental justice element: disadvantaged communities. Requires cities and counties with disadvantaged communities to adopt or update an environmental justice element by June 30, 2028, unless required earlier through a general plan update. The bill also establishes expanded public-engagement requirements, including at least two accessible workshops, multilingual notices and website materials, additional outreach methods, and specified public review periods. Jurisdictions must summarize and meaningfully consider community input before adoption.
Status: Scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Oppose Unless Amended in coalition with Cal Cities, RCRC, and UCC, stating that AB 1457 imposes overly prescriptive and costly requirements on cities and counties, disrupting the framework established by SB 1000 (Chapter 587, Statutes of 2016). The bill would require local agencies to update their general plans by June 30, 2028, even if they recently adopted an environmental justice element or related policies, potentially duplicating completed work. Because general plan updates can cost millions of dollars and the bill provides no state funding, local governments may be forced to draw from limited general funds or increase development fees. The compressed timeline would also make it difficult to budget for staff and consultants, complete environmental review, procure services, and conduct meaningful community engagement, including outreach, advertising, translation, and accessible public workshops.
AB 1621 (Wilson) Planning and Zoning Law: postentitlement phase permits: Housing Accountability Act. Limits state and local agency review of complete building permit applications to two plan checks, while allowing denial after two noncompliant submittals and additional reviews at the applicant’s request. The bill also narrows circumstances that may toll postentitlement permit timelines, restricts agencies from requiring deviations from previously approved plans during inspections without written health and safety findings, and shortens appeal deadlines to 30 business days for projects of 25 units or fewer and 45 business days for larger projects. It authorizes applicants to seek a writ of mandate when an appeal is denied or not timely decided, expands postentitlement permits to include plan checks and building inspections, and makes noncompliance with these requirements a violation of the Housing Accountability Act.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Oppose – along with RCRC and Cal Cities who argue that AB 1621 would undermine local governments’ ability to ensure residential projects comply with building codes and other state and local requirements. They contend the bill could allow developers to bypass regulations involving parking, air quality, solar systems, and other community standards, while restricting agencies from correcting previously approved plans that are later found to violate building requirements. According to the coalition, these limitations could impair effective project review and jeopardize public health, safety, and community welfare.
AB 1738 (Carrillo) State Housing Law: remote inspections. Requires most cities and counties to offer remote inspections for specified residential projects, including heat pumps, reroofs, solar and battery systems, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Inspections could be conducted by video or recorded images, subject to local protocols and inspector discretion.
Most jurisdictions would need to comply by January 1, 2028, with smaller qualifying jurisdictions given until July 1, 2028. Inspectors could require an in-person inspection when necessary, and agencies could temporarily bar homeowners or contractors who misrepresent completed work.
Status: Scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: None – Cal Cities opposes AB 1738 because it would require every local agency to offer remote inspections for certain residential building permits by July 1, 2027, regardless of whether that approach is appropriate for local conditions. Cal Cities argues that cities should retain flexibility to determine when remote or in-person inspections are most effective based on community needs, geography, staffing capacity, technology infrastructure, and the type of project being inspected. A uniform statewide mandate could undermine local decision-making and, in some jurisdictions, reduce the effectiveness of inspections intended to ensure compliance with building standards and protect public health and safety.
AB 1751 (Quirk-Silva) Missing Middle Townhome Ownership Act. Requires cities and counties, except San Francisco, to ministerially approve qualifying townhome projects and associated subdivision maps without discretionary review or a hearing. Eligible projects must contain no more than 150 townhomes, average no more than 1,750 square feet per unit, achieve at least 75% of the applicable density, and reserve at least 10% of units for lower-income households. The bill limits local development standards that would prevent the required density, establishes minimum 600-square-foot parcels, permits several ownership structures, protects existing affordable and tenant-occupied housing, excludes environmentally sensitive and hazardous sites, and allows denial only when a project would create an unmitigable, specific adverse impact on public health or safety.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: None – Cal Cities opposes AB 1751 because it would require cities to ministerially approve qualifying townhome projects and subdivision maps without sufficient review of infrastructure capacity, public service needs, local zoning, or adopted housing plans. Cal Cities argues the bill could force approval of development beyond the density and infrastructure assumptions evaluated through the housing element process, even without assurance that townhomes will ultimately be constructed. The organization also contends that allowing projects at only 75% of minimum density standards could produce fewer homes than cities planned for on multifamily sites, potentially requiring them to identify additional sites to comply with housing element and “no net loss” requirements.
AB 1786 (Harabedian) Public contracts: best value construction contracting for counties, cities, and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments. Expands best value contracting authority to cities and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments; lowers the eligible project threshold from $1 million to $500,000; and extends the authorization’s sunset date from January 1, 2030, to January 1, 2032.
Status: Awaiting a full vote of the Senate
CSAC Position: Support, because it would expand local agencies’ ability to use best value contracting by lowering the eligible project threshold from $1 million to $500,000. CSAC argues this would allow smaller, time-sensitive county infrastructure and community projects to move forward efficiently while enabling counties to select contractors based on experience, safety, and performance, not price alone. According to CSAC, the change would reduce delays and costly change orders, accelerate delivery of critical public works, and provide better outcomes for taxpayers.
AB 1820 (Schiavo) Electric vehicle charging stations: permit fees. Establishes permit fee caps for Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations installed at new or existing multifamily housing developments. Fees generally could not exceed $500, plus $5 per kilowatt between 51 and 250 kilowatts and $2 per kilowatt above 250 kilowatts and could not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the permitting service. A city or county could charge more only by adopting written findings and an ordinance or resolution documenting its administrative costs and streamlined permitting process. The requirements would take effect July 1, 2027, or January 1, 2028, for jurisdictions with fewer than 200,000 residents, and would sunset January 1, 2036.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Oppose, along with Cal Cities and RCRC because its fixed caps on electric vehicle charging permit fees could prevent cities and counties from recovering the actual costs of application review, inspections, and coordination among building, fire, public works, and utility agencies. The coalition argues that the bill would shift the cost of permitting private EV infrastructure onto local taxpayers, disproportionately burden smaller and rural jurisdictions, and divert general fund resources from essential services. They also contend that the process for exceeding the caps would create unnecessary administrative and legal burdens, while reduced fee revenue could lead to fewer permitting staff, slower reviews, and lower service quality. More broadly, the opponents say there is little evidence that local permit fees are a significant barrier to EV charger deployment and that grid capacity, private investment, and infrastructure readiness are more substantial obstacles.
AB 1859 (Ortega) Public works. Requires awarding bodies or owners to provide representatives of a joint labor-management committee reasonable access to active public works job sites to monitor compliance with prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. “Reasonable access” must comply with job site safety and security rules, including required personal protective equipment, and cannot disrupt work, though it includes access to workers during nonwork time. The bill limits liability for awarding bodies, owners, contractors, and subcontractors for safety violations or injuries caused by joint labor-management committee (JLMC) representatives, requires JLMCs to provide proof of insurance and indemnify job site parties for claims caused by their negligence or misconduct, and allows access to be denied or revoked if safety requirements are not followed. A JLMC may sue for willful denial of access within six months, with courts authorized to award penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, plus attorney’s fees and costs. The bill excludes certain public works job sites subject to Education Code criminal background check requirements.
Status: Scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Oppose Unless Amended, in coalition with Cal Cities, RCRC, and other local government organizations because it would give joint labor-management committees a statutory right to enter active public works job sites and sue public agencies for allegedly denying access. The coalition argues that the bill’s vague “reasonable access” standard could create safety and security risks at construction sites located on private property or at sensitive facilities such as jails, hospitals, behavioral health facilities, and sites serving minors. Opponents also contend that the measure would interfere with contractor control of job sites, allow committees with no connection to a project to seek entry, duplicate the Department of Industrial Relations’ existing enforcement role, and expose agencies to civil penalties, attorney fees, administrative burdens, project delays, and higher construction costs.
AB 2002 (Solache) Local government assistance: Regional Early Action Planning Fund. Establishes the Regional Early Action Planning Fund to provide one-time funding for councils of governments, regional entities, and local jurisdictions to prepare for the seventh and subsequent RHNA cycles. Upon appropriation by the legislature, HCD would distribute funds based on population, with applications permitted beginning 39 months before the applicable housing element due date and deemed approved if not reviewed within 30 days. Funds could support RHNA methodology development, housing element and zoning updates, permitting improvements, infrastructure planning, technical assistance, temporary staffing, regional housing trusts, and other activities that accelerate housing production.
Status: Awaiting disposition on the Senate Appropriations suspense file
CSAC Position: Support, along with UCC, RCRC, and Cal Cities
AB 2296 (Papan) Planning and zoning: housing element: regional housing needs allocation. Extends several deadlines in the RHNA process, except for certain councils of governments with seventh-cycle housing element deadlines in 2027 or 2028. It:
- Extends the deadline for cities and counties to form a subregional housing allocation entity from 28 to 34 months before the housing element revision.
- Extends the deadline for assigning each subregion’s share of the regional housing need from 25 to 31 months before the revision.
- Requires regional housing allocation methodologies to be developed at least 30 months, rather than 24 months, before the revision.
- Requires draft housing allocations to be distributed at least 24 months, rather than 18 months, before the revision.
Status: Scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: None, Cal Cities is sponsoring the measure
SB 222 (Wiener) Building permits: heat pump water heaters and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. Streamlines the installation of residential heat pump water heaters and HVAC systems by limiting local permitting requirements, fees, inspections, and zoning restrictions. Beginning in 2027 and 2028, most cities and counties would be required to offer asynchronous inspections, limit installations to one nondiscretionary permit, publish permitting requirements and fees online, accept electronic applications, and provide real-time automated permits for qualifying replacement systems. Permit fees would generally be capped at $150 for heat pump water heaters and $200 for heat pump HVAC systems unless the local agency documents higher reasonable costs. Smaller jurisdictions are exempt from several requirements.
The bill also limits local setback, noise, and site-plan requirements; prohibits permits or inspections for qualifying plug-in window units; and applies the requirements to charter cities as a matter of statewide concern. Additionally, homeowners’ associations could not prohibit or impose fees or contractor requirements on heat pump installations within an owner’s separate interest, except when an installation violates the law or lacks a required permit. The bill does not apply to new residential construction.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Oppose, along with RCRC and Cal Cities because they argue the bill misidentifies local permitting as a barrier to residential heat pump water heater and HVAC adoption when state research instead points to high upfront costs, electrical upgrades, and emergency replacement circumstances. The coalition contends that local permits are necessary to ensure safe, code-compliant installations, while existing law already limits permit fees to reasonable cost recovery. Opponents also object to the bill’s state-mandated automated permitting systems, which could require cities and counties to absorb new software, training, maintenance, and administrative expenses even where permits are already processed efficiently. They argue that expanding rebates and consumer incentives would more directly address the affordability barriers limiting adoption.
SB 299 (Cabaldon) California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: child day care facilities. Creates a CEQA exemption for projects consisting exclusively of a day care center located on land zoned solely for residential use. The exemption does not apply if the project is within 3,200 feet of an active oil or natural gas extraction or refining facility, or if it is located on natural or protected lands.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Support along with a coalition including UCC, RCRC, and Cal Cities
SB 750 (Cortese) California Housing Finance and Credit Act. Establishes, subject to voter approval, a state-backed affordable housing construction loan insurance and credit enhancement program administered by CalHFA beginning January 1, 2027. The bill creates a dedicated fund, authorizes CalHFA to insure or enhance construction and permanent loans, establishes eligibility and loan standards, and allows the agency to charge fees and take action to protect the state’s financial interests in the event of default. It also requires annual reporting by CalHFA, biennial evaluations by the Legislative Analyst’s Office, annual budget limits on the amount of loans that may be insured, and payment of prevailing wages on participating housing developments.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: None – Cal Cities supports SB 750 because it would expand financing options for affordable housing by creating a credit enhancement program for construction loans and providing permanent loans for housing projects.
SB 1117 (Cervantes) Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units. Changes how impact fees are calculated for ADUs larger than 750 square feet. Rather than applying proportional fees to the ADU’s entire size, local agencies, special districts, and water corporations could charge fees only on the portion exceeding 750 square feet. The bill would create a state-mandated local program by requiring local agencies to revise their fee calculations.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Oppose, along with Cal Cities, CSDA, RCRC, and recreation and park districts because it would reduce the impact fees local agencies may charge for accessory dwelling units larger than 750 square feet, limiting funding for roads, fire protection, parks, utilities, and other facilities needed to serve additional residents. The coalition argues that existing fees are already constrained by the Mitigation Fee Act and supported by nexus studies tying them to actual service costs, while the bill would impose an arbitrary cap that could reduce local fee revenue. Opponents warn that insufficient funding could delay infrastructure, weaken public services, complicate environmental mitigation, and shift development-related costs to existing taxpayers.
SB 1283 (Ashby) Electric vehicle charging stations: installation: permits. Expands expedited local permitting requirements for EV charging stations to cover supporting infrastructure, including paving, utility trenches, canopies, concrete pads, and appropriately sized onsite energy storage systems. Cities and counties must administratively approve qualifying projects and update their permitting ordinances and checklists by December 31, 2027, while retaining authority to require documentation, inspections, and compliance with applicable health and safety standards.
The bill also establishes application requirements when a local ordinance or checklist is absent or outdated, directs GO-Biz to develop standardized and optional compliance forms, and requires cities and counties to notify applicants within 30 days when an application has been deemed approved. Applicants may begin construction upon deemed approval without waiting for the written notice.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Oppose Unless Amended, along with RCRC and Cal Cities because it would expand ministerial approval to complex EV charging infrastructure, including canopies and onsite battery storage, while limiting local governments’ ability to apply site-specific land-use, engineering, and safety review. The coalition is particularly concerned that projects could be automatically approved when statutory deadlines are missed, potentially allowing high-voltage, structurally complex installations to proceed without adequate conditions addressing public safety, traffic control, infrastructure capacity, or construction impacts. Opponents also argue that the bill’s strict procedures and private right of action would increase litigation risks for local agencies, especially those with limited staff and resources. They seek amendments preserving local health and safety authority, eliminating deemed approvals for complex projects, providing more realistic timelines, and reducing liability for good-faith permitting decisions.
Health and Human Services Legislation
These measures cover elder financial abuse, foster care, emergency medical services, public guardians, Medi-Cal administration, homelessness prevention, CARE Court, and other county health and human services programs.
AB 871 (Stefani) Mandated reporters of suspected financial abuse of an elder or dependent adult. Expands reporting requirements under the Elder and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act for suspected financial abuse of elders and dependent adults. Existing law requires certain financial institution employees and officers to report suspected abuse to adult protective services or local law enforcement. The bill would additionally require mandated reporters to submit a report to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center within two working days. Financial institutions would also be required to provide annual training on internal escalation procedures and reporting to local and federal authorities, including the FBI and Federal Trade Commission.
When a financial institution files an FBI report, it would generally be required to notify the affected elder or dependent adult within 48 hours, explain that a report was filed, encourage the person to submit their own complaint, and provide the FBI complaint website and contact information using the person’s preferred communication method. The new requirements would take effect January 1, 2028.
Status: Awaiting a full vote of the Senate
CSAC Position: Support
AB 1607 (Mark González) Emergency medical services. Extends the sunset date until January 1, 2037, for the Maddy Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Fund, which authorizes each county to levy an additional $2 for every $10, or part of $10, upon criminal fines to support an EMS fund for reimbursement of costs related to patients who do not make payment for EMS.
Status: Awaiting a full vote of the Senate
CSAC Position: Support
AB 1660 (Schiavo) Public guardians and public administrators. Authorizes courts to impose sanctions of at least $1,000 per violation when a financial institution or other person fails, after at least 30 days’ written notice, to provide information or surrender property belonging to a decedent, minor, or conservatee to an authorized public administrator or public guardian.
Status: Awaiting a full vote of the Senate
CSAC Position: Support
AB 1811 (Rogers) Health professionals. Expands the definition of a health professional shortage area (HPSA) to include areas currently or previously designated by the federal government as of January 1, 2025, as well as areas determined by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) to have a shortage of health professionals. It authorizes HCAI to revoke a state HPSA designation and sunsets the expanded definition on January 1, 2035. The bill also requires healing arts boards to collect additional workforce data at the time of licensure or registration, including practice areas, inpatient and outpatient hours, primary care hours, Medicaid participation, and sliding-fee availability, and submit that information to HCAI monthly instead of quarterly.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Support, along with RCRC and CSDA arguing that AB 1811 will protect rural, medically underserved, and low-income communities from losing critical health workforce resources when federal HPSA designations are withdrawn. These designations help providers access recruitment and retention incentives, loan repayment programs, scope-of-practice flexibilities, enhanced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, and state workforce programs.
AB 1924 (Gabriel) Statewide homelessness prevention strategy. Requires the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal-ICH), by July 1, 2027, to develop and publish a coordinated statewide homelessness prevention strategy. The strategy must identify state agencies affecting housing stability, inventory their current definitions, programs, resources, and service gaps, and establish agency-specific action plans, timelines, statewide goals, accountability measures, and recommendations for legislative or executive action. It must also include evidence-based practices for identifying people at greatest risk of homelessness, including predictive models, and targeting effective prevention services and resources to those households. Cal-ICH must make these practices available to local programs, propose ways to integrate them into state programs, evaluate prevention efforts annually, and review and update the statewide strategy each year.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Support
AB 2201 (Boerner) Medi-Cal: eligibility redeterminations. Requires counties conducting annual or six-month Medi-Cal eligibility redeterminations to verify a beneficiary’s countable income and assets using specified financial data sources without requesting additional documentation when certain conditions are met. The requirements would take effect only if the legislature provides funding.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Support
AB 2478 (Schultz) Kinship family approval. Requires the California Department of Social Services, by January 1, 2028, to establish a simplified kinship family approval process for relatives, nonrelative extended family members, and extended family members of Indian children. The process would offer a more supportive and family-centered alternative to the existing resource family approval process, while maintaining standards for home safety, criminal background reviews, family engagement, and caregiver training. Approved kinship families could provide foster care and would also be considered approved for adoption and guardianship. Counties would be required to inform eligible caregivers of their approval options, including kinship family approval, resource family approval, and, for Indian children, tribal home approval. The bill also expands courts’ authority to place children temporarily with nonrelative extended family members despite certain criminal records when the placement does not pose a health or safety risk.
Status: Scheduled for hearing in the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 3
CSAC Position: Support
SB 28 (Umberg) Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment Court Program. Makes several changes to the CARE Act intended to improve transitions between conservatorship, CARE court, and higher levels of behavioral health care. It authorizes an Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) conservator to request that a conservatee be referred to CARE court when a conservatorship ends. Beginning July 1, 2028, a court dismissing a CARE petition because the respondent requires a higher level of care may order the county to prepare an exit plan, and the Department of Health Care Services must develop a statewide model exit plan addressing appropriate services and ongoing monitoring.
The bill also expands and streamlines CARE court procedures. It extends from 60 to 120 days the period during which a behavioral health professional may examine or attempt to examine a respondent before a petition is filed and permits additional evidence of eligibility, including multiple involuntary holds or unsuccessful referrals to a Full Service Partnership. A respondent may not be removed from the CARE process solely because a county or local entity failed to properly participate. Parties and witnesses may generally appear remotely, counties must establish secure electronic filing systems by January 1, 2028, and parties may agree to alternative methods for serving later reports and notices.
Additionally, the bill authorizes reciprocal information sharing between county behavioral health agencies and health care providers, subject to privacy protections; expands state reporting requirements to include electronic petitions, dismissed cases, and post-referral Full Service Partnership enrollment; requires the state to identify overperforming and underperforming counties annually; and establishes a CARE Court Ombudsperson within the California Health and Human Services Agency. The bill creates additional county duties and provides for reimbursement if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the requirements impose reimbursable state-mandated costs.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Oppose – the county coalition including UCC, RCRC, and the County Behavioral Health Directors Association opposes SB 28 because the late amendments substantially expand involuntary pathways between CARE Court and LPS conservatorships without sufficient time for legislative or stakeholder review. They argue the bill undermines CARE Court’s voluntary, least-restrictive framework by compelling LPS evaluations, potentially routing individuals into CARE despite clinical recommendations for a higher level of care, and weakening existing due-process protections. The coalition also raises concerns about expanded sharing of confidential health information, costly expedited assessment requirements, unsupported public rankings of county performance, and an ombudsperson funded through uncertain county fines.
SB 1016 (Blakespear) Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Court Program and court-ordered evaluations. Modifies the CARE Act by requiring county behavioral health agencies’ written reports to assess whether a respondent is likely to need a higher level of care than the CARE process can provide and, if so, recommend the appropriate care and steps needed to obtain it. It eliminates the court’s authority to dismiss a petition merely because the respondent is likely to enroll voluntarily in treatment. When dismissal is contemplated because the respondent requires a higher level of services, the court may order the county to conduct an LPS Act prepetition screening and keep the CARE petition open until the screening is completed.
The bill also generally requires CARE Act hearings to be available remotely unless the court orders an in-person hearing or the respondent demands one.
Status: Awaiting hearing in the Assembly Appropriations Committee
CSAC Position: Oppose – county behavioral health and local government organizations oppose SB 1016 because they argue it would undermine the voluntary nature of CARE Court by creating a pathway to involuntary evaluation and detention when a CARE petition is dismissed. They contend the bill gives courts, without clinical expertise, too much discretion to determine whether a person may meet LPS Act criteria based on limited or unverified allegations, lack of participation, or perceived lack of insight. The coalition also argues that the bill bypasses existing prepetition screening and due process protections, could subject individuals to unnecessary and potentially traumatic detention, and would divert county behavioral health staff from people with more immediate needs. Opponents maintain that counties already have faster and more effective tools, including mobile crisis teams and 5150 evaluations, to assess individuals who may be dangerous to themselves or others or gravely disabled.
SB 1051 (Menjivar) Foster care: childcare. Authorizes childcare navigators within resource and referral programs to refer foster children to county welfare departments for eligibility and approval under the Emergency Childcare Bridge Program for Foster Children. Participating counties would be required to determine the eligibility of children referred by a childcare navigator.
Status: Awaiting a full vote of the Assembly
CSAC Position: Support
SB 1054 (Cabaldon) Unemployment insurance: reporting requirements. Requires employers, beginning July 1, 2027, with 10 or more employees, and payroll agents reporting on their behalf, to submit enhanced wage information to the Employment Development Department (EDD) at least monthly. Reports must include each employee’s total monthly wages, industry, occupation or job title, worker type, and hours worked. The EDD must work with employers to minimize administrative burdens by streamlining definitions, aligning reporting requirements, and developing user-friendly electronic reporting systems.
The bill also requires the EDD to share employment and hours-worked data with state health, human services, education, and workforce agencies, subject to federal privacy requirements. The data would be used to verify eligibility for programs such as Medi-Cal and CalFresh, improve workforce program reporting, and support statewide education and longitudinal data systems. Data sharing for benefits eligibility must begin January 1, 2028, or when CalSAWS is capable of automating the process, whichever is later.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH ACTIVITY
House Advances Continuing Resolution Seeking to Push Government Funding Deadline to December 4
On July 21, the House passed HR 9770, a Continuing Resolution (CR) pushing the deadline to pass full-year appropriations bills back from September 30 to December 4. CRs temporarily continue prior year funding to allow more time for negotiations on government funding and avert a government shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune committed to putting a CR on the Senate floor before the end of July, though noted that the House-passed version does not include a number of anomalies requested by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Anomalies are the term used for provisions in the continuing resolution that provide funding above and beyond what would otherwise be included in a straight continuation of current funds. Anomalies are requested by the Administration to ensure continued programing that otherwise wouldn't be feasible under a straight extension of current funding. Some of the requested anomalies are political in nature, and unlikely to receive the bipartisan support required in the Senate to reach 60 votes, though others are technical corrections that deal with expiring funding for infrastructure projects and disaster assistance and would need to be included to avoid a shutdown-like scenario for state and local governments accessing the funding.
While this progress decreases the likelihood of a shutdown on October 1, it is unlikely the Senate will finalize a CR next week, leading Congress to return in September to continue negotiations finalizing a CR. In either circumstance, this means that Congressional earmarks, also known as Community Project Funding or Congressionally Directed Spending requests, will be delayed beyond the September 30 end of the federal fiscal year.
House Passes Budget Resolution, Setting Up Another Reconciliation Package
On July 22, the House passed H Con Res 113, a budget resolution starting the budget reconciliation process for the third time since the start of the President’s term in 2025. The resolution would allow for $95 billion in new federal spending, $73 billion in defense spending for costs associated with the conflict in Iran, $12 billion for agriculture subsidies to mitigate the effects of the Iran war and tariffs on farmers, and $10 billion for a voluntary program to implement the President’s voter-ID bill, the SAVE America Act.
Passage in the Senate is not guaranteed, and this is just the first step in the budget reconciliation process. On July 23, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said again that he did not have the 50 votes needed to advance the resolution, and was warry about continuing the process ahead of the midterm elections.
Reconciliation packages allow the majority party controlling the House, Senate, and White House to bypass the usual 60-vote threshold needed in the Senate to pass spending bills. In exchange for bypassing the filibuster, the minority party can introduce and force votes on an unlimited number of amendments on any topic in what is called a “vote-a-rama.” Reconciliation bills, drafted by policy committees instead of appropriators, are also prohibited by the Byrd Rule from containing “extraneous policy riders” and can only enact fiscal measures.
Leader Thune expressed concern about letting his members in tight races for reelection take those politically complicated votes, arguing it could cloud the party’s message in the elections, or wind up sending an amended resolution back to the House. In order to pass the measure in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson floated a fourth reconciliation package potentially enacting more Republican policy priorities in the lame duck session after the midterm elections, though there is significant skepticism the Speaker could drive that effort forward.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Passes Ratepayer Protection Against Artificial Intelligence Data Centers
During a July 20 markup of multiple bills, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce unanimously advanced HR 9340, a bipartisan version of the Ratepayer Protection Act. The bill was reported out by the Subcommittee on Energy in June.
The bill would require states to consider creating standards for technology companies driving artificial intelligence (AI) data center development that demand large electric loads. Those standards would in theory push a framework where the developers would be held responsible for a greater share of the generation and infrastructure costs associated with the data centers, reducing the effects of the increased electric road on consumer energy bills. The bill also follows a Presidential Proclamation from March 2026 with the same title.
During discussion on the bill, members from both sides of the aisle emphasized that federal preemption of state and local land use policies was not an acceptable path forward to ensuring data centers can continue to be developed, alongside discussion of strategic considerations regarding China and the economic impacts of the technology. Republicans also suggested changes to federal environmental regulations to allow for on-site energy generation, though that has complicated debate over the potential environmental impacts on small and rural communities.
The bill now awaits consideration on the House floor, where it will presumably pass with bipartisan support. The Senate has yet to consider a similar piece of legislation, though has held hearings on the state of the bulk power system, and making federal investments in transmission infrastructure in place of local utilities.
House Education and Workforce Committee Advances Bills to Codify DOEd Interagency Agreements
On July 15, the House Education and Workforce Committee held a markup titled “Less Bureaucracy, Better Education” and considered 10 bills seeking to codify some of the Department of Education’s (DOEd) 14 interagency agreements (IAA). The IAAs are considered part of the efforts to offload DOEd’s non-statutory responsibilities to other federal agencies, as the Administration works to implement the March 2025 Executive Order seeking to close DOEd.
DOEd and the Department of Labor (DOL) have signed the largest number of IAAs, offloading program administration and beginning to share and transfer staff between the Departments. Other IAAs include the Departments of State, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Health and Human Services.
A March 19 IAA with the Treasury sought to shift federal student loan administration from DOEd to Treasury, beginning with distressed and defaulted loans and eventually shifting the whole of Federal Student Aid (FSA) to Treasury. The bills codifying these agreements are unlikely to meet the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation in the Senate.
EXECUTIVE BRANCH ACTIVITY
HHS Announces Deferral of Medi-Cal Reimbursements
On July 21, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the deferral of $867.5 million in federal Medicaid (Medi-Cal) payments for the State of California. HHS’s justification for this was suspected fraud with certain in-home care programs whose spending increased rapidly.
On May 13, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Director, Mehmet Oz announced a similar move, though it was never executed by the government. In response, California prepared the requested information, and is expected to do the same again. The California Department of Justice stated they were awaiting the notice and were going to review it before deciding the best course of action.
If the payments are deferred, it could create financial issues for the State and Counties that participate in Medi-Cal administration, as it could create a gap in reimbursement payments for service providers.
EPA Sends More California Clean Air Act Waivers to Congress for Review
On June 17, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it had transmitted two additional Clean Air Act (CAA) waiver decisions to Congress under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), stating that the action fulfills the agency's statutory obligation to submit the waivers for congressional review. The waivers authorize California to implement emissions standards that differ from federal requirements and may also be adopted by other states under the Clean Air Act. These waivers specifically address maritime pollution, including how CARB treats vessels at port, and commercial harbor craft.
According to EPA, the transmission itself does not change the status of the California waiver decisions but initiates the congressional review process. EPA has argued that these actions are intended to satisfy its reporting responsibilities under the Congressional Review Act while Congress determines whether to take further action, though whether or not the waivers are subject to the CRA remains the subject of litigation.
EPA has previously submitted a number of waivers for CRA consideration, and Congress disapproved a group of vehicle emissions waivers last year. Litigation on that disapproval continues, and the Supreme Court has allowed the legal changes to continue through the lower courts.
