Quick answers

Did CA AB 1802 pass?

Yes. CA AB 1802 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-18): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 274, Statutes of 2026.

What is CA AB 1802 about?

The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes a state or local public agency to authorize a governmental entity, a special district, a nonprofit organization, a for-profit entity, a person, or another entity to hold title to and manage an interest in property held for mitigation purposes, subject to certain requirements. Existing law authorizes a governmental entity, special district, or nonprofit organization that holds the property as described above to hold an endowment conveyed for the property, except as specified. Existing law subjects the holder of an endowment to certain requirements, including that the holder certify to the project proponent or the holder of the mitigation property or a conservation easement and the local or state agency that required the endowment that it meets specified requirements. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2027. This bill would delete the above repeal date, thereby extending those provisions indefinitely. Existing law establishes the Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Natural Resources Agency. Under existing law, the department has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. This bill would require the department, on or before July 1, 2030, and every 5 years thereafter, to post on its internet website a summary table providing information on the status of certain endowments held as described above, as specified. The bill would require the summary table to include specified information with respect to each such endowment, including, among other things, the name of the endowment holder.
