Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Except as otherwise provided, the adoption of, or amendment to, regulations or orders implementing this chapter shall be considered by the Office of Administrative Law as an emergency, and necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and general welfare.  Notwithstanding any other law, the emergency regulations or orders adopted to implement this chapter shall remain in effect for two years.  Although the commission may adopt regulations to further define terms or prescribe reporting procedures or calculation methodologies pursuant to this chapter, or prescribe any other method of implementing this chapter, the provisions of this chapter are self-executing and shall not require any implementing regulation to be effective.

(b) The commission may enter into contracts to implement this chapter, and the contracts shall not require the review, consent, or approval of the Department of General Services or any other state department or agency and are not required to comply with requirements under the State Contracting Manual or the Public Contract Code.

(c)(1) Any regulation, guideline, other standard adopted, or decision rendered, by the commission under this chapter is not a “project” for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000)).  However, nothing in this section exempts any project undertaken pursuant to a regulation, guideline, other standard adopted, or decision rendered, pursuant to this chapter from the California Environmental Quality Act.

(2) This subdivision is declarative of existing law and shall apply to all regulations, guidelines, other standards adopted, or decisions rendered, under this chapter whether before or after the effective date of this subdivision.
