Legislative Update - October 12, 2023

Governor Signs Slate of Housing Bills Ahead of Oct. 14 Deadline
SCRHA reported last week that SB 567 (Durazo) was signed into law, but the fate of two other impactful bills, AB 12 (Haney) and SB 267 (Eggman) had not yet been decided. Unfortunately, the Governor signed those bills yesterday. AB 12 will limit security deposits to no more than one month’s rent with very limited exceptions. SB 267 will require housing providers to accept alternative evidence in lieu of credit screening when the applicant has a government subsidy. Also recently signed was SB 712 (Portantino) having to do with e-bike storage and safety of rental units.
