CA AB1774

Requires the Judicial Council to adopt court rules establishing procedures for judicial challenges to water conveyance or storage project certifications and approvals to be resolved within 270 days of filing the certified record, to the extent feasible.

Mandates lead agencies prepare the administrative record concurrently with the project process and post all documents on a publicly accessible website starting from the draft environmental impact report release date.

Requires lead agencies to make draft and final environmental impact reports and all project documents available to the public in electronic format within five days of release or receipt, with exceptions for copyright-protected materials.

Establishes that lead agencies must certify the final record of proceedings within five days of project approval and include a specific notice in at least 12-point type in draft and final environmental impact reports informing applicants of these procedures.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required because local agencies and school districts have authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments to cover the mandated costs.
