California's 2026 Housing Laws: Part 2

Join Holland & Knight's West Coast Land Use and Environmental Group for the second installment in our annual webinar series discussing newly enacted laws affecting the housing industry. In Part 2, our land use attorneys will build on the insights presented in Part 1 by addressing additional key legislation covered in our recent Holland & Knight alert.

Our second installment will focus on permitting reform and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) reform, as well as enforcement and litigation. Among the topics:

• a quick refresher on AB 130
• new "shot clocks" for agency approvals, expedited timelines, and enhanced fines and penalties in litigation challenging housing disapprovals
• insights from Partner Jennifer Hernandez on what to watch in 2026 and the outlook for further reform impacting housing development in California
