CA SB1118

Amends Section 21005 of the Public Resources Code to clarify legislative intent regarding judicial review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Establishes that insubstantial or merely technical omissions in environmental documents are not grounds for relief in CEQA litigation.

Defines an omission in an environmental impact report's significant impacts analysis as prejudicial only if it deprived the public and decisionmakers of substantial relevant information about the project's likely adverse impacts.

Codifies principles from Neighbors for Smart Rail v. Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority (2013) to prevent minor CEQA violations from being used to block or delay projects.
