SB 812 Summary

• Amends Government Code Section 65583 to require local governments include analysis of housing needs for individuals with developmental disabilities in their housing element special needs analysis.

• Defines developmental disability as disability originating before age 18 that continues indefinitely and constitutes substantial disability, referencing Welfare and Institutions Code Section 4512.

• Incorporates conditional amendments from AB 2762 if both bills are enacted and become effective by January 1, 2011, with this bill enacted after AB 2762.

• Provides that no state reimbursement is required because local agencies have authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for mandated program costs under Government Code Section 17556.
