Background
The Senate Housing and Community Development Committee is the most recent Senate committee to oversee bills concerning housing
and community development. The first committee that had housing under its purview was the Senate Housing and Urban Affairs
Committee, which considered "bills related to housing, community development, codes and standards, fair housing, foreclosure,
housing finances, manufactured housing, housing element, and the Subdivision Map Act" (SR11, introduced in January 1983).
In 1995 the committee's name changed to the Senate Housing and Land Use Committee and its scope broadened to consider "bills
relating to housing and land use" (SR8, introduced in December 1994).
