Bill > AB1573

This bill amends existing state law to expand the definition of "target population" for the purposes of local government housing elements, which are plans for land use development. Previously, the "target population" included individuals with low incomes and disabilities, as well as those eligible for developmental disability services. This bill adds victims of domestic violence, as defined in a specific section of the Family Code, to this definition. By including victims of domestic violence, local governments will be required to consider their specific housing needs when developing their housing elements, potentially leading to increased state-mandated costs for local agencies, which the bill notes would be subject to reimbursement procedures.
