AB2231 provides CEQA streamlining for hospital construction projects in Emeryville and Santa Clara to address funding reductions and capacity.
AB2231 aims to accelerate essential hospital construction in Emeryville and Santa Clara by exempting qualifying projects from certain California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. To qualify, projects must invest at least $1 billion, achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, and meet other environmental standards. Streamlining includes limiting public comment periods, expediting court challenges, and requiring health impact reviews. Projects must also create high-wage jobs and provide zero-emission vehicle charging stations.
