Title
HEARING - Consider recommendations from the Legislative Program Committee meeting of April 5, 2004 as follows: (EST. TIME: 45 MIN.)
a) Endorse the introduction of legislation to authorize a loan from the State to offset the cost of the County Formation Commission;
b) Watch AB 2766 (Keith Richman) Local Human Services Program (Realignment Equity) AB 2766 which would reallocate realignment growth to address statewide Public Health and Mental Health realignment inequity;
c) Receive a report on AB 2836 (Maddox) Housing, which would authorize the department of Housing and Community Development to designate areas of the State as tight housing markets, in which "persons and families of moderate income" would include persons and families whose income does not exceed 140% of area median income, and severely tight housing markets, in which "persons and families of moderate income" would include persons and families whose income does not exceed 200% of area median income;
d) Oppose SB 744 (Dunn) Planning: Housing. SB 744 establishes a process, within the State Department of Housing and Community Development, whereby developers of affordable housing may appeal local land use decisions that result in denial of a project or imposition of a housing condition that renders the project financially infeasible;
e) Oppose AB 2305 (Richman) Petroleum Infrastructure Projects and Permitting Process. AB 2305 declares that local permitting is a major barrier to expanding petroleum infrastructure and requires the State Energy Commission to make recommendations to establish a "streamlined" permitting process. If passed, AB 2305 may preempt local authority over the permitting of petroleum infrastructure;
f) Receive a report on the status of ballot initiatives currently in process of seeking qualification for the November 5, 2004 ballot.
