In Case You Missed It: Legislators pass CEQA trailer bill, but the fight isn’t over

Thank you to all of our members, partners and supporters who showed up to advocate for the Delta and against the Delta Tunnel. While the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) trailer bill did pass with the state budget, your calls and emails made a difference. Lawmakers have now committed to working on amendments that address the concerns we raised.

What happened?

On Monday June 30th, California lawmakers approved a budget trailer bill that significantly alters CEQA, exempting certain types of projects from environmental review—including water infrastructure.

What comes next?

Your voices made a difference. This is proof that when we speak up together, our elected officials listen. Please continue to make your voices heard and ensure these amendments are made to explicitly exclude the Delta Conveyance Project from CEQA reform

We need and expect good governance in California and your voices of support will help ensure we have transparency, public participation, and accountability. Again, thank you to all who called, emailed and advocated against the Tunnel to protect our community. This is how you build a sustainable future, idea by idea, call by call!
