RSVP to the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Hearing, 12PM Monday, June 30
In a surprising move, the Governor announced that his signature on the State budget (including AB 102) is contingent on the enactment of SB 131, which the legislature will be voting on tomorrow. SB 131, in its current form, would be a dramatic rollback to environmental protections established in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As the people issuing and monitoring permits, we know that the reason for CEQA delays is the chronic understaffing of the state agencies who monitor compliance. Not only does SB 131 not address this issue, the budget bill seeks to compound this issue by reducing funding for state employee compensation and making the already hard to fill positions even less competitive. The harm posed to our workers by this policy, and the work we do as State Scientists, along with assaults on the democratic process, poses a need for action. Be a part of that action, RSVP today, and we'll see you tomorrow.
I will attend the Budget and Fiscal Review hearing on Monday, July 30, 2025 at 12PM
