Bill overview
This bill would require the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to develop a technical advisory by July 1, 2027, to assist local agencies in determining the significance of environmental impacts, particularly related to greenhouse gas and noise pollution. The advisory would suggest thresholds of significance based on state and federal environmental laws and consider factors like population density and disadvantaged communities. Additionally, the Office would create guidelines for public agencies to follow when assessing environmental impacts, aligning with existing CEQA procedures.
