2003 Governor's Environmental Goals and Policy Report Memo

 

To: Legislative Members

Re: 2003 Governor's Environmental Goals and Policy Report Update

We are hereby distributing the 2003 update to the Governor's Environmental Goals and Policy Report (EGPR) as transmitted by The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). As required by Government Code §65046, OPR has completed an update to the EGPR.

The EGPR forms the framework for state agencies, departments, boards and commissions to develop their own plans, strategies, and programs for serving the communities of California. The EGPR is an overview of state growth and development and a statement of approved state environmental goals and objectives, including those directed to land use, population growth and distribution, the conservation of natural resources, and air and water quality. It also describes actions required to implement the state's environmental goals.

The updated EGPR is consistent with the state planning priorities contained in AB 857 (Chapter 1016, Statutes of 2002) and enumerated in Government Code § 65041.1. OPR is also required to report to the Governor and the Legislature regarding the implementation of the EGPR. This report is first due on or before January 1, 2005, and is due annually thereafter.
