AB 439: California Coastal Act of 1976: local planning and reporting.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 7, 2025

What AB 439 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill amends the California Coastal Act of 1976 to make de minimis amendments to local coastal programs and port master plans effective immediately if 3 or more members of the commission do not object. It requires the commission staff to prepare and present a written report to the full commission every 5 years, addressing public access violations and other enforcement matters. The report will include the number of violations referred to the attorney general, pending violations, and summaries of resolved violations that demonstrate significant public benefit. The bill repeals an obsolete reporting requirement for public access violations.
