On May 20, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 7 into
law, which reenacts the Jobs and Economic Improvement Through
Environmental Leadership Act (the Act) and extends the date of
repeal to January 1, 2026. The Act requires expedited judicial
review for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other
legal challenges for certified Environmental Leadership Development
Projects. Among other things, SB 7 includes more robust
labor-related requirements and expands certification eligibility to
smaller housing projects. SB 7 is an emergency statute that went
into effect immediately.
