California urged to pass AB 88 to curb permit delays
Early last month Dow Chemical abandoned a $500 million Solano County plant after extended red tape delays. Assembly Bill 884 would require state regional and local agencies to decide on permits within 18 months and streamline reports. Gov. Brown requested the measure. The bill aims to reduce overlapping studies while preserving standards and the option to reject facilities. Supporters say the proposal would attract jobs and investment by shortening the permit process within a reasonable period.
