Bill overview
This bill directs the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to conduct a study on the impact of existing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines on project approvals. Specifically, it aims to assess how ‘locked-in’ guidelines – those in effect when a project’s environmental review begins – might affect regulatory certainty, project speed, and the overall efficiency of the environmental review process. The study will also explore best practices for balancing consistency with adaptability and propose potential improvements to CEQA. The bill mandates a report to the Governor and Legislature by January 1, 2027, and then repeals itself on January 1, 2028.
