AB 130, explained
Housing.
Passed into law Chaptered · Author: Committee on Budget
In plain English
This bill clarifies rules about small housing units that can be built on single-family residential lots. It says that old agreements on property deeds cannot stop someone from building these small units if they meet state standards, though some reasonable restrictions are still allowed.
If this passes
What would actually change, according to the bill's official digest. No predictions, no opinions.
- Property deed restrictions that block or unreasonably limit accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) would be void and unenforceable on single-family lots
- This would apply to ADUs and JADUs that meet the minimum state standards for size, parking, and height
- Reasonable restrictions on these units would still be permitted under the law
