Governor signs housing and prison bills likely to face litigation
One of the most likely targets for litigation may be SB 1079, a law designed to prevent large corporations from buying up large swaths of housing, as happened in some areas in the wake of the 2007 financial crisis.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a string of bills over the past three days that could be targets for litigation or address issues already making their way through state and federal courts.
On Monday, Newsom signed 16 bills relating to housing. These range from bills designed to help victims of violent crime find safe housing to new eviction protections to several measures that change local planning and zoning processes.
