SEC. 1In the navigator:§ 65854changes

Section 65854 of the Government Code is amended to read:

SEC. 2

The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring sufficient notice of zoning ordinance changes that could affect property rights is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 1 of this act amending Section 65854 of the Government Code applies to all cities, including charter cities.

SEC. 3. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
