CDFW Cutting the Green Tape and CEQA Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will conduct a public meeting to
provide an update on CDFW’s new Cutting the Green Tape Program, including an
overview of CDFW’s role in the new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Statutory Exemption for Fish and Wildlife Restoration Projects.
Governor Newsom recently signed Senate Bill (SB) 155, adding Section 21080.56 to
California Public Resources Code. This section provides a new CEQA statutory
exemption until January 1, 2025, for fish and wildlife restoration projects that meet
certain requirements. Lead agency application of the exemption for any particular
project is subject to the required concurrence of the CDFW Director. CDFW will provide
an initial overview of the required concurrence and related process during the meeting.
