Quick answers

Did CA SB 1169 pass?

Yes. CA SB 1169 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-20): Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 423, Statutes of 2026.

What is CA SB 1169 about?

Existing law, the Subdivision Map Act (act) , vests the authority to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing of tentative maps, among other maps. Existing law requires a vesting tentative map to be filed and processed in the same manner as a tentative map, except as specified. The act generally requires a subdivider to file a tentative map with the local agency, as specified, and the local agency, in turn, to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map within a specified time period. Under existing law, an approved tentative map expires 24 months after its approval or conditional approval. Existing law authorizes the approval or conditional approval to be extended up to 24 months pursuant to local ordinance, and by 48 months, as provided, if the subdivider is required to expend more than a certain amount of money to construct, improve, or finance the construction or improvement of public improvements outside the property boundaries of the tentative map, as provided, except as specified. This bill would extend the initial expiration period of an approved or conditionally approved tentative map to 48 months and the extension pursuant to local ordinance to 36 months, except as provided. The bill would also apply all of the above-described timelines to any approved or conditionally approved tentative map that is not expired as of December 31, 2026. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. By adding to the duties of local planning officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
