RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.

HB 658 clarifies what types of projects or actions require environmental review under existing law. It defines the specific scope of "an action" that must undergo such reviews, directly affecting developers, government agencies, and project applicants needing environmental assessments. The bill’s key provision is establishing clearer criteria to determine when a review is mandatory, reducing ambiguity in the current process. This is a procedural clarification, not a new policy requiring new permits or funding.
