AB 2620: California Environmental Quality Act: exemption: wireless telecommunications facility: broadband internet access projects.

This bill aims to exempt certain wireless telecommunications facilities and broadband internet access projects from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) if they meet specific criteria. The exemption applies to projects that are not considered small wireless facilities. The bill requires a lead agency to determine whether a project qualifies for the exemption, which would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill addresses a matter of statewide concern and applies to all cities, including charter cities. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies and school districts for the costs associated with implementing this bill.
