Current Legislative Session Bill List
APA California’s 2025 Legislative Session Full Bill List – Coming Soon
Every year, the Legislature introduces around 2000 + bills on average and APA California tracks several by creating a comprehensive list of bills that serves as a resource for members to stay up to date with what the Chapter is tracking and includes summaries, status updates and direct links to language for bills of interest to planners. For help with how to use this list, review the APA California Bill List Review Guidance.

APA California Position Letters and Legislative Engagement
APA California actively engages during the legislative session and takes positions and/or provides feedback on many planning-related bills each year, using guidance from the Chapter’s Board approved Legislative Platform. In addition, the Chapter’s legislative team works with Section Legislative Representatives to solicit feedback from APA California members on legislation throughout each session.
Even if you don’t see a position letter on a particular bill, that doesn’t mean the legislative team isn’t working on it. We are often working in advance of taking a position on a bill to try and address concerns where possible and are often asked to provide technical feedback generally throughout session.
