LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2585, as introduced, Bonta. Employee Housing Act: permanent single-family housing.
The Employee Housing Act requires a person operating employee housing to obtain a permit to operate that employee housing from the enforcement agency, as defined, unless otherwise exempted by the act. The act authorizes a permit to operate employee housing consisting only of permanent single-family housing to, if approved by the enforcement agency, be issued for a longer period of time not to exceed 5 years.
This bill would instead authorize that permit to be issued for a period of time not to exceed 6 years.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 17030.5 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

17030.5.
 (a) A permit to operate employee housing consisting only of permanent single-family housing may, when if approved by the enforcement agency, be issued for a longer period of time not to exceed five six years.
(b) No permit to operate employee housing shall be issued for a period of time longer than one year during the first year of operation of the employee housing, or if within the previous two years the employee housing has been found to be in violation of this part or the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. Whenever the enforcement agency issues a permit for a period of time longer than one year, it shall make written findings indicating the reasons for issuing such a permit.
