Bill > SB1184

This bill expresses the intent of the California Legislature to pass future laws concerning environmental quality, which is a broad area that includes regulations like the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA, in its current form, requires government agencies, referred to as "lead agencies," to assess the potential environmental impact of projects they propose or approve. If a project might significantly harm the environment, the lead agency must prepare a detailed environmental impact report. If the agency determines the project won't have a significant negative effect, it can adopt a negative declaration, or if revisions to the project can avoid or lessen potential harm, it can adopt a mitigated negative declaration.
