Ed Casey will moderate the session, "CEQA Reform in 2011: A Missed Opportunity. But Let’s Get Ready for the Next Farmer’s Field, Playa Vista and Other Big Projects by Reforming CEQA in 2012,” during this conference hosted by the
USC Gould School of Law. This session will discuss the risks posed by CEQA litigation and recent court decisions that showcase continuing problems. The panel will review recent reform efforts, including the business community’s efforts to reform CEQA during the 2011 budget negotiations, and the reform legislation that passed (including the Farmer’s Field Bill and the Environmental Leadership Development Projects Bill). The panel also will discuss new ideas for additional CEQA reform.
