Bill	Department of Fish and Wildlife: advance mitigation and regional conservation investment strategies.	(1) Existing law establishes the Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Natural Resources Agency. Under existing law, the department has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. Existing law authorizes the department, or any other public agency, to propose a regional conservation investment strategy, to be developed in consultation with applicable local agencies that have land use authority, for the purpose of informing science-based nonbinding and voluntary conservation actions and habitat enhancement actions that would advance the conservation of focal species and provide voluntary nonbinding guidance for various activities. Existing law authorizes the department to approve a regional conservation investment strategy only if one or more state agencies request approval of the strategy through a letter sent to the Director of Fish and Wildlife, as prescribed. Existing law requires the strategy to contain specified information and authorizes inclusion of a regional conservation assessment proposed by the department or any other public agency, and approved by the department, in the strategy. Existing law authorizes the department to approve a regional conservation investment strategy or amended strategy for an initial period of up to 10 years after a public meeting and a public comment period regarding the proposed strategy or amended strategy have been held and after it finds that the strategy meets certain requirements.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20212022	AB 2805	California AB 2805 (20212022)	bill	Department of Fish and Wildlife: advance mitigation and regional conservation investment strategies.	enacted	Bauer-Kahan	7	24	8	2022-02-18	2022-09-22	openstates	ocd-bill/6a51985b-247c-4bb2-8190-ca65b227b865	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2805	cd352d36b83157831dbc06b8ea149a2c26d882053ea4a1524e56b4ce5f76e78e	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
