Plain-English Summary
This measure proposes to modernize the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by updating the approval and permitting process for essential projects. It aims to establish clear timelines to improve accountability and reduce unnecessary delays.
What each outcome does
If Proposition 45 passes, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) would be updated to streamline the approval and permitting process for projects like housing, water infrastructure, and clean energy, while maintaining environmental and cultural protections.
If Proposition 45 fails, the current California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) approval and permitting processes would remain unchanged, potentially continuing existing timelines and procedures for project development.
