<br />DRAFT 2025 Legislative Positions <br /> <br />5 | P a g e <br />Updated 4.21.2025 <br /> FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY <br /> <br />8 SB 358 (Becker) <br /> <br />Mitigation Fee Act: <br />mitigating vehicular <br />traffic impacts <br />Current law requires a local agency that imposes a fee on a <br />housing development for the purpose of mitigating vehicular <br />traffic impacts to set the rate for that fee to reflect a lower rate <br />of automobile trip generation associated with such housing <br />developments in comparison with housing developments <br />without prescribed characteristics, unless the local agency <br />adopts findings after a public hearing establishing that the <br />housing development, even with those characteristics, would <br />not generate fewer automobile trips than a housing <br />development without those specified characteristics. For <br />purposes of these provisions, current law specifies one of <br />those characteristics is that the housing development provides <br />either the minimum number of parking spaces required by the <br />local ordinance, or no more than one onsite parking space for <br />zero- to 2-bedroom units, and 2 onsite parking spaces for 3 or <br />more bedroom units, whichever is less. For purposes of a <br />local agency setting the rate for a mitigating vehicular traffic <br />impacts fee, this bill would delete the provision about adopting <br />findings after a public hearing and would, instead, require the <br />rate for housing developments that satisfy those specified <br />characteristics be at least 50% less than the rate for housing <br />developments without all of those characteristics. With regard <br />to the above-described characteristic, the bill would, instead, <br />specify that the housing development provides no more than <br />one onsite parking space for zero- to 2-bedroom units, and 2 <br />onsite parking spaces for 3 or more bedroom units. <br />Oppose None/None <br /> INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT <br /> <br />9 AB 762 (Irwin) <br /> <br />Disposable, battery- <br />embedded vapor <br />This bill would prohibit, beginning January 1, 2026, a person <br />from selling, distributing, or offering for sale a new or <br />refurbished disposable, battery-embedded vapor inhalation <br />device in this state.
