Exempts certain rural parcels from the Surplus Land Act if they are unsuitable for housing.

California AB1895 amends the Surplus Land Act to exempt certain rural parcels from the act if they are unsuitable for housing. The bill identifies specific conditions under which land may be exempt, such as land with slope instability, flood hazard areas, or high fire hazard severity zones. It also exempts land used for utility sites, conservation, educational purposes, and other non-residential uses. The bill requires local agencies to declare land as "exempt surplus land" and provides for civil penalties for violations.
