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 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	20232024	AB 3227	California AB 3227 (20232024)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act exemption routine maintenance stormwater facilities	enacted	Alvarez	7	24	6	2024-02-16	2024-09-27	openstates	ocd-bill/c228b37a-6bf4-4f6d-9e48-f30818b17761	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB3227	9eac8dbfb9d0e46df39b355176e307e8bfd2a1aa0b613fdde9443392a67e4972	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
