What SB 489 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill aims to improve local government development patterns by requiring local agency formation commissions to establish written policies and procedures. These policies must include forms for various submittals and be accessible to the public through an internet website. The bill also requires commissions to provide access to notices and other information about public hearings and meetings. Additionally, the bill mandates that public agencies publish online lists of required information for housing development projects, including the criteria for determining completeness and the type of approval. This bill imposes a state-mandated local program by increasing the duties of local agencies. However, no reimbursement is required for the costs associated with implementing this bill.
