SB 1100 (Cortese) – Open meetings: orderly conduct

Summary

This bill authorizes the presiding member of a legislative body conducting a meeting, or their designee, to remove an individual for disrupting the meeting, and defines “disrupting” for these purposes. Specifically, this bill:

• Provides that prior to removing an individual, the presiding member, or their designee, must warn the individual that their behavior is disrupting the meeting, and that their failure to cease the behavior may result in their removal.

• Allows the presiding officer, or their designee, to remove the individual who received the warning if they do not promptly cease their disruptive behavior.

• Provides that warning is not required if the individual is engaging in behavior that includes use of force or a true threat of force.

• Defines “disrupting” as engaging in behavior that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to:

o A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by a legislative body pursuant to existing law.

o Engaging in behavior that includes the use of force or true threats of force.

Status

The Governor signed SB 1100 into law on August 22, 2022.

AB 2449 (Rubio) – Brown Act: Public Meetings

Summary

• AB 2449 (Blanca Rubio) allows, until January 1, 2026, members of a legislative body of a local agency to use teleconferencing without identifying each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of the meeting, and without making each teleconference l ocation accessible to the public, under specified conditions.

• AB 2449 allows a member of a local agency to use teleconferencing without identifying from where he or she is located and without making that location accessible to the public (until January 1, 2026), only if at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body participates in person from a singular physical location clearly identified on the agenda that is open to the public and situated within the local agency’s jurisdiction, but only under one of the following specific circumstances:

2 o For “just cause,” which means for childcare or other caregiving need, a contagious disease, a physical or mental disability, or travel on official business. The board member must notify the agency “at the earliest possible opportunity,” provide a general description of his or her need and can only use this circumstance to participate remotely twice in a calendar year.

o For “emergency circumstances,” which means a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person. In this situation, the board member has to request ahead of time from the board the ability to participate remotely, and the board has to take action to approve the request.

• AB 2449 restricts the use of this auth ority to not more than 3 continuous months, or 20 percent of regular meetings annually.

Status

The Governor signed AB 2449 into law on September 13, 2022.

AB 2011 (Wicks) – Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022

&

SB 6 (Caballero) – Middle Class Housing Act of 2022

SB 6 and AB 2011 both allow for the development of residential housing in commercial and retail- zoned parcels, so long as developers utilize either increased labor standard s or increased affordability standards. While it was thought that one bill would secede the other and become law, near the end of the 2022 Legislative Session, legislative leadership announced their seal of approval to both bills. This will give developers the choice to decide which strategy to use when approaching a housing development project in a non -residential zone: comply with stricter labor standards or stricter affordability standards.

The differences between both bills are outlined below:

• Labor Standards: Both bills include increased worker protection standards for the construction professionals working under the bills’ provisions . AB 2011 includes less stringent labor standards than most other bills the Legislature has seen on zoning in recent years. SB 6 requires for the use of a skilled and trained workforce. As such, AB 2011 received opposition from major construction union groups, including the State Building and Construction Trades Council, while SB 6 enjoyed support from construction trades groups.

• Approval Processes: Both bills have different methods for approving the development of new housing: AB 2011 makes residential development by -right on commercial parcels along heavily transited commercial corridors, which means circumventing local review processes, including CEQA, so long as developers pay workers union -level wages with health care benefits, among other requirements.

SB 6 makes it an “allowable use,” which means that local governments could still exercise a measure of discretionary approval over SB 6 projects, but parcels would be effectively

3 rezoned. To take advantage of the rezoning benefit, developers must use a skilled and trained workforce, which means a portion of the workforce must be union labor.

• Affordability Requirements : Another main difference between the two bills is affordability. Under AB 2011, at least 15% of housing units in a building built by-right would need to be deed-restricted affordable to low-income households. Alternatively, 8% of units would need to be affordable to very low-income households, and 5% would be affordable to extremely low -income households. Under a third option, 100% of units would be affordable.

SB 6, on the other hand, was recently amended to decrease its objective aff ordability requirements from 15% to 0%. However, local governments may still impose affordability requirements beyond the baseline.

Summary: The California Constitution reserves to the electors the power to recall an elective officer and requires the Legislature to provide for recall of local officers. Current law requires a recall election to include the question of whether the officer sought to be recalled shall be removed from office and an election for the officer’s successor in the event the officer is removed from office. This bill would instead require a recall election for a local officer to include only the question of whether the officer sought to be recalled shall be removed from office. If a local officer is removed from office in a recall election, the bill would provide that the office is vacant until it is filled according to law.
