Bill	California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: railroad crossings.	(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 1665	California AB 1665 (20112012)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: railroad crossings.	enacted	Galgiani	6	23	6	2012-02-14	2012-09-28	openstates	ocd-bill/b1d9dbe7-0326-4cbe-8151-99cc21444c75	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB1665	5a1cbd8881c98ba4f39e176ec88dac457dae5a3650399dd7cf73393dbc41f7ac	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
