: Legal Pad | LAPilot program shields construction projects from lawsuits
By Richard Binder
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office introduced a pilot program on Wednesday in Sacramento that would fast-track select construction projects by exempting them from environment-related legal challenges, with the aim to speed up the start of construction.
The California Environmental Quality Act Litigation Protection Pilot Program would allow the state's Business, Housing and Transportation Agency to identify 25 construction projects a year that would not be subject to legal challenges once the environmental impact reports are complete and approved. Of those 25 projects, 10 would be chosen from the Southern California region that includes Riverside County.
Projects would not be exempt from the state's environmental protection laws and would be chosen from across the state. Still, opponents believe the plan will undermine the chance for locals to voice their concerns in such projects.
