Bill	California Environmental Quality Act: environmental leadership media campus projects: judicial streamlining.	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. CEQA establishes administrative procedures for the review and certification of the EIR for a project and judicial review procedures for any action or proceeding brought to challenge the lead agency's decision to certify the EIR or to grant project approvals.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	AB 3265	California AB 3265 (20232024)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act environmental leadership media campus projects judicial streamlining	enacted	Bryan	7	27	10	2024-02-16	2024-09-14	openstates	ocd-bill/7e00dad5-992e-439c-80a4-7457923dd0d7	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB3265	5d06651ef7a7d23103541778b48fedc8fac2fd1fdd062bc47abf523e9c5a3128	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca

California AB 3265 (20232024) — California Environmental Quality Act: environmental leadership media campus projects: judicial streamlining.

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. CEQA establishes administrative procedures for the review and certification of the EIR for a project and judicial review procedures for any action or proceeding brought to challenge the lead agency's decision to certify the EIR or to grant project approvals.
