The 2024 California Legislative Roundup: Insights Into Sacramento

In recent years, the California Legislature has become increasingly bold about wielding the power of state law to address the housing crisis and other land use matters. This year, the Legislature yet again considered dozens of bills with major impacts on planning and development statewide and, especially, in urban areas like Los Angeles. The vast majority of these bills were sent to the governor's desk, for signature or veto, by September 30th. 

Westside Urban Forum held an engaging and informative panel discussion to review the significant legislation passed — and not passed — in the 2024 session. This event provided a comprehensive overview of the latest legislative changes and their impact on our communities and cities.
