Committee:
House Housing and Community Development
Summary:
The Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee heard several housing-related bills. AB 760 would temporarily allow mobile home parks in disaster-declared areas, and nearby jurisdictions, to rent park-owned homes to people displaced by natural disasters such as fires, floods, or earthquakes. Supporters said it would quickly add emergency housing after events like the Los Angeles fires; there was no opposition, and the committee later approved the bill 9-0 as amended.
AB 1445, authored by Chair Haney, would help cities finance office-to-housing conversions and downtown revitalization by creating downtown recovery districts funded by future property tax growth. Support came from the California Travel Association, Housing Action Coalition, IKEA, and other housing and transit advocates, who said the bill would help downtowns recover, increase housing, and support local revenue. The committee members were generally supportive, and the bill passed 8-0.
AB 456, by Assemblymember Connolly, would bar mobile home park managers from requiring interior repairs or inspections as a condition of sale, while preserving exterior repair requirements and tightening the timeline for management responses. Supporters, including many mobile home residents and GSMOL, argued park managers were delaying or obstructing sales and overreaching into private transactions. Opponents, led by the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association, warned that banning interior inspections could allow unsafe or unpermitted conditions to go unnoticed and increase liability and fire risk. After extended debate over safety, disclosure, and park liability, the committee passed the bill 8-1 as amended.
The committee also took up a consent item, AB 391, which was approved 9-0 as amended. After quorum was established, the committee took roll-call votes on the measures and adjourned after completing the agenda.

- Tens of thousands of puppies are currently being bred out of state, typically in Consumers.
- These animals are often bred in large-scale out-of-state facilities with State puppies.
- This kind of transparency is already the norm in most other states.
Summary:
The Assembly Business and Professions Committee heard several bills, including SB 788 by Senator Niello, which clarified that CPAs and CPA firms, including employees and out-of-state CPAs authorized to practice in California, are regulated by the California Board of Accountancy rather than subject to Tax Preparation Act registration requirements. Supporters said the bill would reduce duplicative regulation and confusion; there was no opposition, and the bill passed to Appropriations.
The committee also heard SB 351 by Senator Cabaldon, aimed at strengthening enforcement of California’s corporate practice of medicine rules as they relate to private equity and hedge fund involvement in medical and dental practices. The author and physician supporters argued that private equity can interfere with clinical decisions and patient care, while opposition from the American Investment Council said the bill could sweep in legitimate business practices and requested a narrow amendment. The bill passed to Judiciary.
SB 312 by Senator Umberg was heard next and would require health certificates for imported dogs sold in California to be submitted to CDFA and made publicly available, with supporters describing it as a transparency and consumer protection measure to combat puppy mills and misleading online sales. There was no opposition, and the bill passed to Agriculture. The committee also approved a consent calendar containing SB 291, SB 387, SB 517, SB 602, and SB 773, all moving to their respective committees. The meeting ended after additional roll calls and adjournment.
