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	SB 1361	California SB 1361 (20232024)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act contract for providing services for people experiencing homelessness exemption local agencies	enacted	Blakespear	5	20	6	2024-02-16	2024-08-19	openstates	ocd-bill/18126d96-20e1-468b-91c8-0915b44dbca4	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1361	6ee49ea38ce1688b2426945c770f6cbf08a4498dfcf3c6265f62e11688c760eb	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
