CEQA Suspension: 5 Key Interim Measures Every Attorney Should Know for Wildfire Recovery
In response to the most devastating wildfires in state history, California has seen a flurry of executive orders to expedite reconstruction from the state and local level. These measures include the governor’s order to temporarily pause permitting and review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Coastal Act — two well-known and time-intensive environmental protection acts. These swift and sweeping orders present a number of questions for attorneys about the immediate and long-term impact to their practice.
Join our expert panel — led by two Sheppard Mullin partners who specialize in land use, environmental and CEQA documentation and defense law — as they explore five questions attorneys may have as the interventions unfold:
- What is the current landscape of regulations at the state and local level?
- Should we expect any changes to these interim measures?
- What are the major unknowns that could impact the recovery timeline?
- Are there any conflicting mandates from the state, regional and local levels that need to be reconciled?
- Could any of these interventions pose a lasting impact to land use and related law practice?
