Legislative Presentations
Legislative Presentations
CALBO’s Legislative Team hosts occasional membership-wide presentations about our ongoing advocacy efforts in Sacramento. Below is an archive of the presentations given to our membership.
The presentations summarize the intent of proposed legislation, address how it may impact local building departments, and provides other relevant information about bills coming from Sacramento. Please note, this information and CALBO’s position may have changed on bills since the legislature moves quickly and changes legislation throughout the legislative process. For the most up-to-date information on bills, please visit the CALBO Bill Report.
Please note, none of the presentations or interpretations of bills should be used for legal advice as this is an interpretation of the policy developed. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your city attorneys should you have any further legal questions on state law.
If have any questions, please contact the CALBO Office at info@calbo.org or 916-457-1103.
CALBO Legislative Briefing – May 2025
OnDemand Video Presentation
In this month’s OnDemand
video briefing, CALBO Executive Director Matthew Wheeler,
DPPD, provided an update on key California legislative bills
affecting building departments. He noted that AB 306, which would
freeze residential building standards for six years, remains
opposed by CALBO despite recent amendments. Bills AB 253, AB
1206, and AB 750 continue to move forward, with CALBO expressing
concerns about third-party plan checks and pre-approved plans.
Meanwhile, AB 339, AB 6, and AB 389 remain pending. AB 557 was
amended to preserve local inspection authority, allowing CALBO to
shift from opposition to a neutral position.
Matthew also shared highlights from recent advocacy efforts in Sacramento and announced upcoming CALBO training opportunities across the state.
