Bill overview
The Build Now Act aims to speed up the environmental review process for projects related to the Central Valley Project, a large water infrastructure system in California. Specifically, it mandates that environmental reviews for these projects be completed within one year of permit application submission. If an agency cannot meet this deadline, the permitting head can either grant an extension with the applicant's approval or deny the permit. Applicants denied a permit due to the timeline can reapply, and the agency involved will provide information to help expedite the new review.
