Construction takes place on a new housing development on March 23, 2012 in San Francisco.
With just over a week remaining for California's legislative session, business and labor groups have started a push to pass broad reforms of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) -- a 42-year-old statute that has become the basis for numerous lawsuits against project developers. The effort has alarmed environmental groups and many legislators, who warn that change could leave the law ineffective.
Host: Michael Krasny
