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	20232024	SB 91	California SB 91 (20232024)	bill	California Environmental Quality Act environmental leadership transit projects motel conversion supportive and transitional housing	enacted	Umberg	5	29	9	2023-01-17	2023-10-10	openstates	ocd-bill/df28a4b1-bbc8-4029-811f-23cd9a38be1a	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB91	6749cbd4e3de3383b8b4be1ec30114c1b4f90df0dd87fde10ae2cc9efefe14a6	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
