Rulemaking
Under the direction and authority of the California Legislature, CalEPA is tasked with developing and adopting specific rules and regulations needed to protect human health and the environment. This process, known as the rulemaking process, ensures that all stakeholder and community voices are heard, and that all viable options for action have been considered. Only after prescribed periods of public notice and consideration of comment received is a measure adopted.
