Codifying Environmental Regulations: Impact on Infrastructure Projects.

This act aims to give legal force to certain environmental impact assessment regulations that were revised in 2020. This means that the rules for how the government evaluates the environmental impact of large projects (e.g., roads, bridges) will become more permanent and harder to change in the future. This could speed up some projects but also alter how citizens can influence environmental decisions in their local areas.
Key points
Environmental impact assessment rules for large projects (e.g., infrastructure) will be permanently enshrined in law.
Changes may affect project approval speed and citizens' ability to provide environmental input.
