End Authoritarian Land Use Bills that Expedite
Corporate Investment in the Housing Supply
SB1120 * SB902 * SB995 * SB1085 * AB725 * AB1279
AB2345 * AB3040 * AB3107
IMMEDIATE ACTION:
HELP US STOP SB995
Must be done by Thurs, 8/6/20 at 7AM!
SB 995 seeks to "streamline" the process to reduce the time, cost, or other requirements (e.g. removing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements) for a developer to receive approval for a project by a local government, and reduce local control of zoning.
|
1. Call members of the Natural Resources Committee to oppose SB 995. Already called? Call again.
