California Assembly Bill 72 (AB 72) is a 2017 California statute which grants the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) enforcement authority with respect to four statutes: the HAA, State Density Bonus Law, fair housing law (Section 65008 of the Government Code) and the "no net loss" requirements for replacing housing element sites that are not developed as projected (Section 65863 of the Government Code). The law requires the department to notify both a local government and the Attorney General of the local government's specified violation of the aforementioned laws as well as need for enforcement, and for the Attorney General to sue the offending government.

The law expanded the powers of the HCD in the construction of affordable housing. The bill was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on September 29, 2017.

Amendments and related legislation

AB 434 was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on October 11, 2023, expanding the HCD's enforcement powers to enforce the streamlining of HOME Act (SB 9) projects concerning ministerial processing of lot splits in single-family residential zones, along with the streamlining of projects which fall under the ADU law, SB 6 (2022), SB 4 (2023), SB 684 (2023) and AB 1218 (2023).

Other bills were passed to similar effect in the following years, including SB 35 (2017), SB 330 (2019) and AB 2011 (2022).
