SB 1090 passed out of both Assembly committees on July 1 — Housing & Community Development and Local Government. Your calls did this. The fight isn't over, but today we cleared a major hurdle together.
On July 1, SB 1090 passed both Assembly policy committees — Housing & Community Development and Local Government. To every neighbor who called, wrote, testified, or traveled to Sacramento: thank you. The committees' discussion centered on broadening affordability for returning residents and tightening protections against a rush of applications — and clearing committee gives us the runway to strengthen the bill on exactly those points.
Summer recess — perfecting the bill. We'll keep working with legislators to refine SB 1090's language on affordability and vesting.
August — the Assembly floor. When the Legislature returns, SB 1090 faces its full floor vote. We'll need another round of calls and organizing — stay ready, and we'll send timing and instructions closer to the date.
Right now — keep calling the Governor. An executive order is the fastest protection of all, and unlike SB 1090 it can reach subdivisions already filed since the fire.
“I'm asking Governor Newsom to protect Altadena's recovery from the Eaton Fire — please grant an executive order pausing the by-right SB 9 / SB 1123 lot-splitting that lets developers carve burned lots into up to ten units before families can return. Please act now. Thank you.”
