AB 2139: Surplus lands: exempt surplus land: City of Ontario.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified July 3, 2026

What AB 2139 does, verified July 3, 2026

<p>The bill amends California's government code by expanding the definition of "exempt surplus land" to include specific properties owned by the City of Ontario. For this designation, the city must record certain requirements in a covenant or restriction against the property at the time of disposition and deposit funds from the sale into a local housing-specific set-aside account. The bill requires the city to notify the Department of Housing and Community Development 30 days before disposing of such land as "exempt surplus land." Additionally, it mandates that violations of these provisions are treated as subsequent violations under existing disposal requirements.</p>
