CA AB2676

Expands the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 to prohibit moratoriums on housing development within a city's sphere of influence, not just within city boundaries

Requires local voter initiatives and referendums imposing housing moratoriums to receive approval from the Department of Housing and Community Development before enforcement; unapproved measures are deemed void

Broadens the definition of "moratorium" to include voter referendums that extend existing restrictions on housing development

Establishes a 3-year statute of limitations for legal actions enforcing the Housing Crisis Act, applied retroactively to pending cases

Declares housing provisions a matter of statewide concern, making the law applicable to all cities including charter cities
