State Legislature Bills

Requires independent civilian review of serious police use-of-force incidents, anonymized public reporting, and safeguards for due process, privacy, and criminal investigations. It also offers competitive grants for oversight, training, transparency, and officer-support programs.

This bill speeds up approval of qualifying infill and affordable multifamily housing in urban areas by imposing clearer state permitting timelines, reducing duplicative review for compliant projects, and rewarding cities that hit permitting benchmarks. In exchange for state funds, local governments must adopt tenant protections for assisted projects, including just-cause eviction standards, relocation assistance tied to displacement, affordability covenants, and annual public reporting.

This bill would fund affordable and mixed-income housing near major transit stops, but only in places that adopt faster by-right approval for qualifying projects. It also ties funding to tenant protections like just-cause eviction, right-to-return, relocation help, and preserving existing affordable units, with the state tracking housing and displacement results.
