Standing outside of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Thursday, Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas said he wants to work quickly to expand housing options for those impacted by the fires in Los Angeles.
“If we need to pass legislation quickly, we will do it,” Rivas said. “If existing laws are throwing up roadblocks to relief, then we will work to remove those roadblocks.”
Lawmakers announced they will soon introduce bills to fastrack development for accessory dwelling units so that those displaced can live on their property while they rebuild.
