February IRC Minutes. The City's federal lobbyist was
unavailable to attend and had advised staff prior to the meeting.
Louie Brown delivered a brief State update and dived into some more of the pending legislation of interest to the City.
AB 2361 (Davies) proposes that RHNA allocations could be negotiated and transferred regionally. This bill proposes a pilot program in Orange and San Diego counties. IRC will watch this bill.
AB 2924 (Petrie-Norris) would prohibit any marriage of a minor. Current law allows a waiver by parent/guardian. The City passed Resolution 2021-049 announcing its commitment to end child marriage. Staff will bring back the item for consideration at the April 2024 IRC meeting.
SB 951 (Wiener) calls for the elimination of some of Coastal Commission's jurisdiction. Amendments were made prior to the meeting of the IRC and staff/lobbyist will continue to monitor. It is likely that many coastal cities will join the opposition of this bill.
