    Does anyone have any more information about SB 330 and the revision to the ADU laws in California?  The main question I have is it going to in effect January 1st?  And how does this affect local building, and planning codes?

    I have read through a few articles like, "California's 2020 Housing Laws: What You Need to Know: Insights." Holland & Knight, California's 2020 Housing Laws: What You Need to Know | Insights | Holland & Knight

    SB 330 received bipartisan support in both houses of the Legislature, winning approval in the Assembly on a 67-8 vote, and in the state Senate, on a 30-4 vote. The new law takes effect Jan. 1, 2020 and sunsets in 2025.
