State Government

At the state level, the Building Industry Association of Southern California works closely with the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) on issues such as Construction Dispute Resolution (CDR), water quality, inclusionary zoning and school fees.

CBIA is the industry's legislative voice in Sacramento, working in conjunction with BIASC to help remove barriers to housing construction and to ensure all Californians have access to affordable, decent housing.

BIASC also monitors state judicial cases impacting the housing industry and the activities of such state agencies as the California Coastal Commission.

* Inclusionary Zoning, AB1229 (Atkins)

* Affordable Housing, California Homes & Jobs Act, SB391
