What does CEQA stand for?

  1. California Environmental Quality Act

  2. California Environmental Quality Assessment

  3. California Environmental Quality Agency

  4. California Environmental Quality Administration

The correct answer is: California Environmental Quality Act

The correct answer is California Environmental Quality Act, commonly known as CEQA. This legislation, enacted in 1970, serves to inform governmental decision-makers and the public about the potential environmental impacts of proposed activities. The Act seeks to ensure that all branches of government consider environmental consequences before taking action or approving projects. The other options do not accurately represent the name or intent of CEQA. For instance, while "California Environmental Quality Assessment" might suggest an evaluative process, it fails to capture the comprehensive regulatory framework established by CEQA. Likewise, "California Environmental Quality Agency" and "California Environmental Quality Administration" imply organizational bodies rather than the governing law itself. CEQA is specifically framed as an Act, which sets it apart and distinguishes its purpose and legal implications within California's environmental policy context.
