CA legislature passes eviction data reporting law
09/27/2026, California, Legislation, Housing - Evictions
In September 2026, the California State Legislature passed SB1160 which requires the Judicial Council, by 2032, to determine the timeline by which counties will be able to submit eviction data relating to filings and outcomes using an automated reporting system. By 2033, county courts selected by the Judicial Council as able to submit data using an automated system, must submit the data quarterly. By 2034, and every year thereafter, the Judicial Council must make the data public.
The data collected, as specified in the law, includes:
- Cases filed each month.
- Cases that were subject to default, stipulated, and other types of pretrial and posttrial judgments.
- Cases that were dismissed at the plaintiff’s request or by order of the court.
When reported, the data will be aggregated by zip code.
