Projects must meet certain criteria to be eligible for certification, as defined in forthcoming guidelines, anticipated for release in Fall 2023.
The streamlining provisions for certified projects include a 270- day judicial review period for a CEQA case, including all appeals, as feasible, and a requirement that public agencies concurrently prepare the record of proceedings and the administrative process.
