The state budget package passed by the Legislature Monday evening and headed to the governor for his signature reforms the California Environmental Quality Act to make it easier to build climate-friendly infill housing and essential facilities like childcare centers, farmworker housing, parks, food banks, and health clinics. “These are the most important infill housing reforms the Legislature has ever contemplated,” said Senator Christopher Cabaldon, D-Yolo, said of one of the bills, AB 130. “This bill makes it clear that we are going to open the door for substantial investments in housing.”
