Bill > SB1196

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing California law regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are secondary housing units on the same lot as a primary residence, providing complete independent living facilities. Specifically, it amends Section 66313 of the Government Code, which defines various terms related to ADU approvals by local agencies. The change involves replacing the word "prior to" with "before" in the definition of "objective standards," a term referring to standards that are verifiable and not based on personal judgment by a public official, ensuring clarity and consistency in how these standards are applied before a development application is submitted.
