The official record

California · 2025–2026 session · SB 79. Housing development: transit-oriented development. Chapter 512, Statutes of 2025; approved and filed October 10, 2025. Lead author on the measure: Wiener.

Provision to inspect

Government Code §65912.156 defines qualifying transit and an urban transit county, including a threshold of more than 15 passenger rail stations. The chaptered text supports this historical summary.

Relationship to the ideas

Related precedent / applicability unresolved. A Santa Nella location’s eligibility is unverified. This does not establish campus funding, a qualifying station, a grant or permission to build.

Verification and limits

Historical text checked September 11, 2026. Later amendments, guidance and local eligibility need separate review. Detected text changes hold related conclusions for review.

The next question

Which parcel and transit service are proposed, and do they meet the applicable current definitions?
