(1) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report (EIR) on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 1486	California AB 1486 (20112012)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System.	enacted	Lara	5	33	5	2012-01-10	2012-09-28	openstates	ocd-bill/97653757-a266-4dd2-a4a9-18542cfadf46	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB1486	42e7615d7b61a796202b2d277c6bc7ca2c276105c1808212851b09ff5a7f7d59	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
