STATE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION

Governor Newsom waived the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act to allow rebuilding. In addition to the suspension of CEQA review and California Coastal Act, the executive order will direct state agencies to identify additional permitting requirements that can be safely suspended or streamlined to accelerate the rebuilding process.

Newsom said:

When the fires are extinguished, victims who have lost their homes and businesses must be able to rebuild quickly and without roadblocks. The executive order I signed today will help cut permitting delays, an important first step in allowing our communities to recover faster and stronger. I’ve also ordered our state agencies to identify additional ways to streamline the rebuilding and recovery process.
