California Senate Bill 9, or SB 9, would amend Government Code Sections 66315 and 66322 to remove the requirement of property occupancy and amend parking standards for accessory dwelling units, or ADUs. 

Stefan Elgstrand, Arreguín’s press secretary, noted that SB 9 will ease the process of building ADUs. 

“As someone who experienced housing displacement growing up and as a renter myself, I am proud that my first bill addresses this very issue that has impacted far too many Californians,” Arreguín said in the press release. “SB 9 will unlock thousands of properties to create new homes and will make it easier for people to find stable housing.”
