California Environmental Quality Act.

Existing law, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify 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 or mitigated negative declaration, as specified, if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA includes exemptions from its environmental review requirements for numerous categories of projects, as prescribed. CEQA exempts from its environmental review requirements projects for restriping of streets or highways to relieve traffic congestion. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this exemption provision.
