65584.7.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:
   (1) Accurate and current data to estimate housing needs is
necessary to ensure that state, regional, and local agencies plan
effectively.
   (2) The Department of Finance, which is charged with providing
demographic data to aid effective state and local planning and
policymaking, released updated population projections for the state
on July 9, 2007.
   (3) The updated projections released by the Department of Finance
represent a decline of over 30 percent from the prior projection in
the near-term population growth for the area within the regional
jurisdiction of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments.
   (4) Authorizing the department to adjust its regional housing
needs determination for the Sacramento Area Council of Governments
region is allowed only because a substantially different projection
was released by the Department of Finance prior to the adoption of
the Sacramento Area Council of Governments' final regional housing
need allocation plan, and will not alter the schedule for its
adoption.
   (b) (1) Consistent with the revised population projections
released by the Department of Finance on July 9, 2007, the
department, for the fourth revision of the housing element pursuant
to Section 65588, and prior to the adoption of the final regional
housing need allocation plan by the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments, may revise its regional housing need determination for
the Sacramento Area Council of Governments. The revised determination
by the department shall be consistent with the current population
projections of the Department of Finance and with the methodology
used for the initial determination for the region.
   (2) The revision of the regional housing need determination shall
not extend the time for, or reinstate any right to, an appeal,
request for revision, or public comment or consultation period
established pursuant to this article with respect to the
determination of the regional housing need and the allocation to
local government members of the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments.
   (3) This section does not change or modify the deadline
established in Section 65588 by which local governments within
Sacramento Area Council of Governments are required to adopt revised
housing elements.
   (c) This section is not intended to change or modify the deadlines
in Sections 65584.01 to 65584.08, inclusive.(d) This section shall
remain in effect only until January 1, 2014, and as of that date is
repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before
January 1, 2014, deletes or extends that date.
