There are many significant resilient provisions that communities can enjoy in the UPC, such as specifications to address the impact of water temperature on the potential for scalding and Legionella growth. The UPC also includes holistic provisions for storm piping materials and sizing methodologies, along with domestic water right-sizing through the addition of the Water Demand CalculatorTM (WDC). The UPC is the only national model plumbing code with significant updates for water pipe sizing in buildings since the development of Hunter’s Curve more than 80 years ago. It is the result of a multiyear, IAPMO-led effort to develop a new statistically based pipe sizing method stemming from a need to address profound water safety and wasted water and energy concerns due to oversized water supply pipes in homes and buildings.
A California housing law led to thousands of new homes, report says. Why that’s not enough
The migrants will be free to walk outside the hostel and even visit the nearby Kigali city center. Tents will be set up within the hostel’s compound for processing their documentation and for various briefings. After they are sent to Rwanda, the migrants will be shown to their rooms to rest, after which they will be offered food and given some orientation points about Kigali and Rwanda, said hostel manager Ismael Bakina. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under pressure to explain why Britain has paid Rwanda $300 million as part of a blocked asylum plan. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak quelled a Conservative Party rebellion and got his stalled plan approved, but hurdles remain before any flights take off.

Assembly Bill 12 would ban landlords from charging more than one month’s rent as a security deposit. Supporters of AB 12 argue that rental housing is already too costly for many tenants in California, and that charging thousands of extra dollars upfront for a unit worsens the problem. Senate Bill 423 helps build on a “track record of success,” said Ray Pearl, executive director of the California Housing Consortium, one of the measure’s sponsors.

Though the surveillance tool targets only non-Americans in other countries, it also collects communications of Americans when they are in contact with those targeted foreigners. Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber, had been pushing a proposal that would require U.S. officials to get a warrant before accessing American communications. Still, officials had said that court approval shouldn’t be a substitute for congressional authorization, especially since communications companies could cease cooperation with the government if the program is allowed to lapse. The one-size-fits-all approach of HB 2689 would have been detrimental to the plumbing industry and the communities it serves, stifling innovation and flexibility in plumbing practices. The industry has long opposed efforts to mandate a statewide plumbing code in Texas, and the defeat of this legislation is a prime example of the plumbing industry, both union and non-union, moving in lockstep to preserve and protect its plumbing code of choice.
“I think that is a risk that we cannot afford to take with the vast array of challenges our nation faces around the world,” Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Friday. “If the government wants to spy on my private communications or the private communications of any American, they should be required to get approval from a judge, just as our Founding Fathers intended in writing the Constitution,” Durbin said. “This is a significant victory for the plumbing industry in Texas and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our partners who have been tirelessly advocating for the adoption of the UPC,” said John Mata, IAPMO Senior Director of Field Services. Senate Bill 6 and Assembly Bill 2011 represent a potentially major shift in the Capitol, where agreements between the state’s powerful labor organizations and advocates for a more robust housing supply are notoriously difficult to negotiate. Only 11% of bills made it past committee and only about 2% were enacted in 2021–2023.
The term customer means any person or governmental entity that interacts with an agency of the executive branch, either directly or through a federally funded program administered by a contractor, nonprofit, State or local government, or other entity of the Federal Government/executive branch. The deal more likely represents a one-time fix rather than the systemic culture change needed to make similar deals easier to make in the future, even as both measures passed the Legislature with bipartisan support. The Assembly approved AB 2011 on a final 52-3 vote and the Senate sent SB 6 to Newsom on a 34-0 vote. Tucked into the measure is a provision that gives TikTok’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell it or face a nationwide prohibition in the United States. The president can grant a one-time extension of 90 days, bringing the timeline to sell to one year, if he certifies that there’s a path to divestiture and “significant progress” toward executing it.
Under House Bill 2698/Senate Bill 1777 unwed fathers could still voluntarily sign, but in order for the birth certificate to be officially validated, the signer must provide the results of a DNA test to Vital Records. Finally, under this scenario, the child's right to have their legal biological father listed on their birth certificate and in some cases, their lives, was stolen from them also. Because he voluntarily signed and it had passed a 5-year period to rescind the voluntary acknowledgment, he was deemed the legal parent. A bill proposed during the 2022 legislative session aimed at protecting against paternity fraud is making the rounds on social media. Rwanda says it’s ready to receive migrants from the United Kingdom after the British Parliament this week approved a long-stalled and controversial bill seeking to stem the tide of people crossing the English Channel in small boats by deporting some of them to the East African country. In public, the administration deployed a strategy of downgrading intelligence to reveal Russia’s efforts to tighten its ties with U.S. adversaries China, North Korea and Iran to fortify Moscow’s defense industrial complex and get around U.S. and European sanctions.

Not later than 1 year after the enactment of this Act, the Director of OMB shall update guidance issued by the Director and supporting processes (such as information collection reviews or data sharing approvals) as necessary and applicable, to implement the provisions of this Act. She previously worked with The Times’ Sacramento bureau as a state politics reporter, covering the Legislature and pivotal policy issues including homelessness and housing, mental health, addiction, gun control and the state judicial system. Wiley has a bachelor’s degree from St. Louis University and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. AB 2011, “along with its companion bill SB 6, has the potential to transform housing policy here in California,” Wicks said during a Monday debate in the Assembly. All of this can be remedied, by simply requiring a DNA test on the front end to alleviate any challenges and potential emotional scarring for the child, the wrongfully accused father, the mother and the rightful biological father. In Juvenile Court, he presented the DNA evidence to the magistrate and was basically told, “somebody’s got to feed him and it will be you.” He was ordered to pay child support and found in arrears.
All the while, senior Biden officials frequently updated McConnell and key House Republican committee leaders, including Reps. Michael McCaul of Texas and Michael R. Turner of Ohio. Some of their concerns extend beyond environmental impacts and into local control over housing decisions in their communities. Senate Bill 4 would let religious groups and nonprofit colleges build homes on excess land, but lawmakers will need to make a deal with unions on the proposal. But that’s still far short of what’s needed to dig the state out of a severe shortage. The House vote had been delayed by Republicans for months, with some objecting to sending money overseas instead of dealing with the US-Mexico border issue.
The measure is also meant to be a deterrent to migrants who risk their lives in leaky, inflatable boats in hopes that they will be able to claim asylum once they reach Britain. Also signed a new treaty with Rwanda to beef up protections for migrants, and adopted new legislation declaring Rwanda to be a safe country. For example, U.S. officials this month laid out intelligence findings that showed China has surged sales to Russia of machine tools, microelectronics and other technology that Moscow in turn is using to produce missiles, tanks, aircraft and other weaponry. Earlier, the White House publicized intelligence that Russia had acquired ballistic missiles from North Korea and acquired attack drones from Iran. At the time, the House was in chaos because the Republican majority had been unable to select a speaker to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, who had been removed more than two weeks earlier. McCarthy’s ouster by the GOP’s far right came after he agreed earlier to allow federal spending levels that many far-right House Republicans disagreed with and wanted undone.
A recent UC Berkeley Terner Center for Housing Innovation report found that the 2017 law has helped lead to more than 18,000 proposed new units in California, nearly two-thirds of which are considered 100% affordable. It’s a small dent in a state that must plan for 2.5 million new homes over the next eight years, with at least 1 million set aside for low- to very low-income households. One of the major changes detractors had proposed centered on restricting the FBI’s access to information about Americans through the program.
