Committee advances AB 941 to set 270‑day timeline for CPUC review of priority transmission CEQA documents
Summary
AB 941 would require the California Public Utilities Commission to decide on certification of environmental impact reports for specified high‑priority electrical infrastructure projects within 270 days of a complete application; the committee passed the bill unanimously to natural resources.
Assemblymember Spiro (presenting) said AB 941 is intended to cut years from permitting timelines for high‑priority transmission projects designated by CAISO and the CPUC, while preserving CEQA review standards and public participation. The bill would establish a 270‑day timeline for the CPUC to determine whether to certify an environmental impact report on a completed application for eligible priority projects.
