BOMA California Legislative Update - CEQA Reform

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Reform

As a principle member of the CEQA Working Group, BOMA California continues to work with elected leaders in Sacramento on amendments to SB 731 in an attempt to agree on meaningful reform to the law in 2013.

Senator Darrell Steinberg (D - Sacramento) has indicated that he only wants to focus on narrow reforms that would impact certain types of infill development.  As such, it is unclear if any reform efforts will be significant enough to truly encourage economic growth.  BOMA California has worked with Mr. Steinberg on many issues in the past and hope that all stakeholders can agree on meaningful reform before the California Legislature adjourns for the year.
