SB424 amends the California Environmental Quality Act to exempt certain projects from environmental review if they meet specific criteria.

SB424 amends the California Environmental Quality Act by adding a new section that exempts projects from environmental review if they serve an urgent public health or housing need, are on less than 15 acres in an urbanized area, and are within the boundaries of an expired regional habitat conservation plan. The bill also states that the exemption applies if the project's environmental review was completed according to the requirements of the regional habitat conservation plan as it existed.
