An act to amend Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code, relating to environmental quality. 3073.5 of the Labor Code, relating to apprenticeship.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 33, as amended, Cortese. California Environmental Quality Act: lead agency. Apprenticeship: annual report.

Existing law requires the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, the California Apprenticeship Council, and the Interagency Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship to annually report separately through the Director of Industrial Relations to the Legislature and the public on their activities. Existing law requires the report to include specified information, including information on the number of individuals, including numbers of women and minorities, in apprenticeship, preapprenticeship, and other specified programs for the current year and in each of the previous 5 years.

This bill would expand the required information in the report to include information regarding outreach activities to recruit and retain apprentices from disadvantaged communities and underserved subgroups.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA defines “lead agency” to mean the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project that may have a significant effect upon the environment.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
