Bill Summary
An act to add Section 21080.14 to the Public Resources Code, relating to environmental quality, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
AI Summary
This bill exempts the closure of railroad grade crossings from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which is a state law requiring government agencies to analyze and disclose the environmental impacts of projects before they are approved. This exemption applies when the Public Utilities Commission orders a crossing closed because it poses a threat to public safety, but it does not apply to crossings for high-speed rail projects. The bill also requires that a notice of this exemption be filed with specific public entities, and it declares that it is an urgency statute, meaning it will take effect immediately to address public safety concerns.
