SB 1165: Keeping CEQA strong

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a bedrock law for environmental protection in California, and its strength derives from the ability of the public to participate equally with financially interested parties in reviewing the environmental impacts of a project. SB 1165 (Kuehl) would have allowed for both a public and a project proponent review of early drafts of an EIR and required a review of outdated EIRs by the lead agency.
