AB 782 - Subdivisions: Security

Overview

Bill Number: AB 782
Title: Subdivisions: security.
Status: Ordered to inactive file at the request of Senator Wiener.
Introduced: February 18, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary goal of AB 782 is to enhance security measures for new residential subdivisions in California. The bill aims to address concerns about crime, vandalism, and other safety issues that can arise in newly developed communities. The legislative rationale is to provide a consistent statewide framework to ensure adequate security infrastructure and planning is in place for these types of projects.

Key Provisions

  • Requires developers of new residential subdivisions of 50 or more units to include a security plan as part of the subdivision application process.
  • Mandates the security plan address measures such as perimeter fencing, lighting, surveillance cameras, access control, and security patrols.
  • Directs the State Department of Housing and Community Development to establish minimum standards for subdivision security plans.
  • Empowers local governments to review and approve security plans as part of the subdivision approval process.
  • Allows local jurisdictions to require developers to fund ongoing security services for a set period after project completion.

Affected Parties and Impacts

The primary parties affected by AB 782 would be:

  • Residential subdivision developers, who must incorporate security planning and potentially ongoing funding into their projects.
  • Local city and county governments, which would be responsible for reviewing and approving security plans as part of the subdivision approval process.
  • Residents of new subdivisions, who would benefit from enhanced security measures intended to improve community safety.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

AB 782 was introduced in the California State Assembly on February 18, 2025 and has been ordered to the inactive file at the request of Senator Wiener. This means the bill is currently not moving forward in the legislative process. However, the issues of subdivision security and safety are likely to remain an area of policy focus, so a similar bill could be reintroduced in the future.
