California SB979 revises the process for regional housing needs allocation, including timelines and judicial review.

California SB979 amends the Government Code to modify the process for regional housing needs allocation. It mandates that councils of governments distribute draft allocations at least one and a half years before a scheduled revision. Local governments and the department can file appeals within 30 days of the draft allocation. The council of governments must hold a public hearing within 45 days of the proposed final allocation plan. The final allocation plan is subject to judicial review.
