The California Environmental Quality Act, known as CEQA, requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect.
CEQA provides that a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
