AI Summary

  • Requires local governments to include a "governmental constraints disclosure statement" in their housing element starting with the 7th revision, identifying any new or amended regulations that could constrain housing development adopted since the previous housing element's due date

  • Mandates disclosure of anticipated governmental constraints that local governments expect to adopt during the first three years of the planning period, based on items previously identified in public meeting agendas under the Brown Act

  • Applies to all cities including charter cities, as the Legislature declares this addresses a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair

  • Does not prohibit local governments from adopting, amending, or increasing the stringency of housing constraints regardless of whether they were disclosed in the statement

  • Imposes no state reimbursement requirement because local agencies can levy fees or assessments to cover compliance costs
