In keeping with similar extensions provided during previous downturns in the housing market, the California
Legislature recently passed a bill that will automatically extend the expiration date of tentative maps, vesting
tentative maps, and tentative parcel maps approved under the Subdivision Map Act for an additional 12
months. Senate Bill 1185 (“SB 1185”) also automatically extends for a 12-month period the life of any state
agency approval for a development project having an eligible tentative map. Thus, SB 1185 will also extend
the life of state agency permits with fixed terms, such as Department of Fish and Game, Coastal Commission,
Air Resources Board, or Regional Water Quality Control Board approvals, which have been obtained for
projects receiving the map extension.
