INTRODUCTION
This item seeks City Council approval of the Beverly Hills City Council Legislative/Lobby Committee’s (“Committee”) recommendations made at their May 24, 2024 meeting for the position of support, support if amended, and/or oppose on various federal and state legislative bills not addressed in the City's adopted 2024 Legislative Platform.
There are four bills, which were presented at the meeting, that do not require City Council concurrence (AB 2309, SB 915, AB 2236, and SB 1053) as the Committee’s recommendation on these bills was consistent with the City’s Legislative Platform; therefore, letters were drafted for the Mayor to sign and were sent to the appropriate state elected officials on these four bills. While these bills are not listed under the Recommendation Section above, they are provided below such that all items discussed by the Committee appear in this report.
DISCUSSION
Each year, the City establishes a Legislative Platform (“Platform”) that embodies key legislative themes and priorities for the upcoming year. The Platform provides direction for our legislative advocates and City staff as they work to secure clear and strategic initiatives locally as well as in Sacramento, California and Washington, D.C. In May 2024, the City Council adopted the current Legislative Platform.
The objective of the Platform is to outline the City’s position on legislative matters and serve as the foundation for the City to support or oppose various local, state and federal legislation. The Platform seeks to not only secure critical resources for the City, but also outlines policy statements that allow City staff and the City’s legislative lobbyists to more effectively respond to and influence legislation at the local, state and federal levels.
On May 24, 2024, the Committee met to discuss a variety of federal and state legislative bills. A summary of the legislation reviewed by the Committee and their recommendations is listed below, including those bills that align with the City’s Legislative Platform that were presented to the Committee but do not require City Council concurrence as the recommendations were consistent with the City’s Platform.
More details on the bills listed below may be found in Attachment 1 to this report.
1. S.2632 - Visa Processing Improvement Act
This bill would improve visa processing times by expanding in-person interview waivers, setting timeframes for visa interviews, initiating pilot programs, and improving accountability and transparency among other changes.
Recommendation: Support if amended to exclude countries with known state-sponsored terrorism and/or who provide a refuge to terrorists and terrorist organizations including but not limited to Qatar, Iran, and Syria.
Meeting Date: June 18, 2024
2. Assembly Bill 2943 (Zbur) - Crimes: shoplifting
This bill would make several changes to state statute regarding retail theft, organized retail theft, and shoplifting. These changes include: aggregation of charges, extending the sunset date on the organized retail theft statute, the ability for police to arrest, and creating a new crime for retail theft.
Recommendation: Support. The Committee requested the letter include a request for the state legislature to consider the amendments requested by the League of California Cities. These amendments included a request to clarify the aggregation of charges section as the bill does not adequately address case law (People v. Bailey). This could result in the inability for prosecutors to aggregate multiple offenses.

Recommendation: Support.

Recommendation: Support.
15. Senate Bill 926 (Wahab) - Crimes: distribution of intimate images This bill creates a new misdemeanor offense of intentionally distributing a digital image depicting the intimate body part or parts of another identifiable person, or a person engaged in a sexual act, if the person distributing the image knows or should know that the person depicted did not consent to the distribution and the Meeting Date: June 18, 2024
distribution of the image will cause serious emotional distress, and the person depicted suffers that distress.
Recommendation: Support.
16. Assembly Bill 2309 (Muratsuchi) - City attorney: state law: misdemeanor This bill authorizes any city attorney of a general law city or charter city to prosecute any misdemeanor committed within the city arising out of a violation of state law notwithstanding the requirement that a county district attorney consent to any city attorney prosecuting a misdemeanor, provided the legislative body of a city passes an ordinance granting prosecutorial authority to the City Attorney.
Recommendation: Support.
17. Senate Bill 1262 (Archuleta) - Crimes: supervised release Current law requires the county agency supervising the release of a person on postrelease community supervision to petition a court to revoke, modify, or terminate postrelease community supervision if the agency determines, following application of its assessment processes, that intermediate sanctions are not appropriate.

Meeting Date: June 18, 2024
Recommendation: Support.
21. Senate Bill 1116 (Portantino) - Unemployment insurance: trade disputes:
eligibility for benefits

RE: S.2632 – The Visa Processing Improvement Act
Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, co-chairs of the Senate Travel and Tourism Caucus, introduced S.2632 -- the bipartisan Visa Processing Improvement Act on July 27, 2023.
The bill addresses the delays in processing tourist and temporary work visas that directly impact the US travel and tourism industry and American-based business effortsto recruit and retain skilled foreign workers. The legislation expands in-person interview waivers, sets timeframes for visa interviews, initiates pilot programs, and improves accountability and transparency. Klobuchar and Moran argue that international travelers applying for visas are facing unacceptably long wait times, averaging over a year. The ongoing delays in visa processing are negatively impacting businesses, universities, and families across the country. The measure is pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Specifically, this legislation would:
• Authorize remote interviews over videoconferencing for low-risk non-immigrant visa applicants.
• Establish a visa interview wait time standard of 21 days and give the State Department the flexibility to transfer resources—this could include funds, personnel or tech to consular posts with average wait times above the standard for sustained periods for the purpose of reducing wait times.
• Permanently extend interview waiver authority for returning/renewing low-risk visitor, worker, and student visas.
• Create expedited and in-country processing options for renewing visa applicants, while retaining the authority to require travelers to leave the country and complete an in-person interview.
The bill is supported by the U.S. Travel Association, the National Immigration Forum, and the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers: Association of International Educators. ••

POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council Liaison/Legislative/Lobby Committee
FROM: Cynthia Owens, Municipal Affairs Program Manager
DATE: March 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Ballot Initiative (22-0008) – Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property
ATTACHMENTS: None
INTRODUCTION
Ballot Initiative (22-0008) titled Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property (the “Initiative”) has qualified for the November 2024 ballot. The initiative was designed to repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (“Costa-Hawkins”) enacted in 1995. The initiative, if passed by the voters, would prohibit rent control on single-family homes and houses completed after February 1, 1995. The initiative also prohibits rent control laws that mandate what a landlord can charge a tenant when they first move in. By repealing CostaHawkins, the Initiative would allow cities and counties to limit rent on any housing and limit the rent for a first-time tenant. Any local laws currently inoperative under Costa-Hawkins would take effect upon its repeal.
This item is being presented to the City Council Liaison/Legislative/Lobby Committee (“Committee”) for a recommendation of a position of support at the request of Councilmember Mirisch.
DISCUSSION
Costa-Hawkins is a state statute that limits the use of rent control in California. Costa-Hawkins provides that: cities cannot enact rent control on housing first occupied after February 1, 1995, and housing units where the title is separate from connected units (such as free-standing houses, condominiums, and townhouses). Housing exempted from a local rent control ordinance before February 1, 1995, must remain exempt. Landlords have a right to increase rent prices to market rates when a tenant moves out, a policy known as vacancy decontrol.
Prior to the enactment of Costa-Hawkins, local governments were permitted to enact rent control, provided that landlords would receive "a just and reasonable return" on their rental properties according to case law. The California State Legislature passed Costa Hawkins in 1995.
Currently, Costa-Hawkins generally prevents cities and counties from limiting the initial rental rate that landlords may charge to new tenants in all types of housing, and from limiting rent increases for existing tenants in:
1) Residential properties that were first occupied after February 1, 1995; 2) Single-family homes; and
3) Condominiums.
2 of 2
In 2019, the California State Legislature passed legislation, titled AB 1482, to cap annual rent increases at five percent plus inflation for tenants living in apartments that were 15 years or older. AB 1482 also requires a landlord have a just cause, as defined in the law, to evict tenants that had occupied the rental for at least one year. AB 1482 included exemptions for housing built in the past 15 years and some single-family homes and duplexes. The legislation will sunset after 10 years.
As of 2023, seven states and Washington, D.C. have enacted rent control policies at the state or local level. Thirty-one (31) states have enacted laws preempting local governments from adopting rent control policies. In 12 states, no cities have rent control but rent control is not preempted by the state.
The table below depicts the campaign contributions raised by those that support and oppose this ballot initiative.
Contributions Expenditures
Support Committees $13,985,095.67 $13,415,315.96
Opposition Committees $2,245,000.00 $722,971.82
Major donations for the Support Committees include the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, United Here Local 11, and Kevin DeLeon Believing in a Better California Ballot Measure Committee.
Major donations for the Opposition Committees include California Apartment Association, Issues PAC of Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles, California Business Roundtable Issues PAC, and Multi-County Property Rights PAC.
FISCAL IMPACT
No anticipated fiscal impact
RECCOMENDATION
The Initiative involves a policy matter that may have a nexus to the City’s adopted Legislative Platform language. Specifically, the following statement may apply to this ballot initiative:
• Continue to support new initiatives regarding rent control legislation at the state level.
After discussion of the Initiative, the Committee may recommend the following actions:
• Oppose the Initiative;
• Support the Initiative;
• Support the Initiative;
• Oppose unless amended the Initiative;
• Remain neutral; or
• Provide other direction to City staff.
Should the Liaisons recommend a position of support, then staff will prepare a letter for the Mayor to sign as the Initiative appears to be consistent with the City’s Legislative Platform. Any other positions recommended by the Liaisons will require the concurrence of the City Council and staff will place this item on a future City Council agenda. ••••
