Day at the Capitol

The "Day at the Capitol" is the Association of Environmental Professionals’ (AEP) annual advocacy event where members of its Legislative Review Committee meet with lawmakers and their staff to discuss California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) policies and offer expert insights on environmental legislation. These meetings focus on establishing AEP as a resource for legislators, ensuring new laws are practical for implementation, and addressing key CEQA-related issues—especially those impacting housing and environmental justice. AEP has engaged in productive discussions on high-profile CEQA court cases, bills streamlining housing development, and efforts to balance environmental protection with housing affordability. Additionally, AEP has collaborated with the Office of Planning and Research on tools and updates to support practitioners, reinforcing its role in shaping responsible environmental policy.
