Three amendments were made to Assembly Bill 518 during the legislative process. (See Exhibits #1b through #1d) Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor George Deukmejian signed the bill on July 20, 1989, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on that date as Chapter 170 of the Statutes of 1989.

The Concurrence in Senate Amendments analysis of the Assembly Committee on Local Government described Assembly Bill 518 as last amended on June 8, 1989 as follows:
As passed by the Assembly, this bill required local agencies which have collected developer fees to make available to the public the beginning and ending balance of the developer fee accounts, any interest earned, a description of expenditures, and any refunds made. This information must be prepared within 60 days of the close of the fiscal year and reviewed at a public meeting.
The bill clarified that fees collected under reimbursement agreements entered into by any local agency are exempt from the requirements of AB1600.
