AB734 regulates the public release of biological resources data submitted to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission.

AB734 adds provisions to the Public Resources Code, specifying that biological resources data submitted to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission must be made available to the public unless the Department of Fish and Wildlife determines that releasing certain location data would pose a significant risk to species. The bill defines "biological resources data" as information about species and their habitats, including observations, surveys, and maps. The Department of Fish and Wildlife must assess the maximum amount of data that can be safely released.
