California Assembly Bill 130 (2025)

California Assembly Bill 130 is a 2025 law which exempts most infill housing development from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The bill incorporated text from AB 609, drafted by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, while the bill itself was a budget trailer bill intended to be mandatory in order for the state budget to take effect. The bill was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on June 30, 2025.

Reception
The bills' passage was well received by supporters of the YIMBY movement, while environmental groups worried about potential environmental and health consequences from the bills' carve-outs of CEQA. Earlier language in both bills instituted lower prevailing wages for construction on housing projects than is standard in non-housing construction projects, which drew the opposition of trade unions, including the North America's Building Trades Unions president Sean McGarvey and AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler, while gaining the support of the NorCal Carpenters Union. The language was removed on July 25, and opposing unions subsequently withdrew their opposition to the bills. == References ==
