Bill	California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: Gypsum Canyon Veterans Cemetery.	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	20252026	AB 571	California AB 571 (20252026)	bill	CaliforniaEnvironmentalQualityAct GypsumCanyonVeteransCemetery exemption	enacted	Quirk-Silva	6	24	8	2025-02-12	2025-10-01	openstates	ocd-bill/f4ec7c6e-5597-41fa-ae4e-39eb0b5cc363	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB571	2d425da1f800bbcec76b6ac626272edaa97cae044dc891d883d0a85ae800fa5e	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
