Tribal Consultation Under AB 130 Workshop

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM) (PDT)

Description

Join us for an informative workshop on the tribal consultation requirements introduced under California Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130)—a landmark reform to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) aimed at streamlining urban housing development while strengthening protections for tribal cultural resources.
As a recognized expert in cultural resource management, Lisa Westwood will guide attendees through the new regulatory landscape and provide practical insights for navigating tribal consultation processes effectively and respectfully.
Key Learning Outcomes:
  • Understand the scope of AB 130’s CEQA exemption for qualifying urban infill housing projects as it relates to the new considerations for historical and tribal cultural resources.
  • Learn the mandatory tribal consultation timelines
  • Explore the role of tribal input in determining the significance of cultural resources and required mitigation.
  • Review conditions that disqualify projects from exemption, including impacts to historic structures or sensitive cultural resources.
  • Clarify the responsibilities of lead agencies and project applicants, including confidentiality and monitoring obligations.
  • Discuss how tribal consultation affects project schedules.
This workshop is essential for developers, planners, consultants, and agency staff involved in housing development projects under the new framework.
