GoKawiilCalifornia's Prop 45 fast-track rules could let data centers skip environmental review
California's Proposition 45 would shorten environmental review timelines for projects deemed 'essential,' cap legal challenges at 270 days, and limit public comment to 45 days. Environmental groups including Earthjustice warn that data center developers could classify their projects as essential infrastructure to access these expedited approvals, even though the measure is being pitched mainly as a way to speed housing and renewable energy construction.
