The Build Now Act aims to speed up the process of reviewing environmental permits for water projects in California. This helps ensure important water infrastructure projects can move forward more quickly.
1. This bill requires environmental reviews for certain water projects to be completed within one year. 2. If the review is not finished on time, the agency must either extend the deadline or deny the permit. 3. Applicants can reapply for a permit if it is denied due to a missed deadline. 4. The agency must share any relevant information from the previous review to speed up the new application process. 5. The bill focuses on projects that support the Central Valley Project and its infrastructure.
