CA SB581

Requires planning agencies to include in their annual reports to the state whether the city or county is a party to any court action related to violations of state housing law, including cases involving the Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus Law, and Housing Crisis Act of 2019.

Mandates disclosure of the disposition or status of any housing law-related court actions in the annual report submitted by April 1 of each year to the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for this mandate because local agencies have authority to levy fees or assessments sufficient to cover the costs of the new reporting requirement.
