Bill overview
This bill proposes an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for projects involving the undergrounding of powerlines. Currently, CEQA requires thorough environmental reviews for projects that could significantly impact the environment. This bill would allow agencies to bypass this review process for powerline undergrounding projects, streamlining the process. The bill also addresses potential state reimbursement requirements for local agencies undertaking this type of project.
