    Requirements for building permits and reviews in the California
    Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act will be eased
    for victims of the fires in Pacific Palisades, Altadena and other
    communities.

    Newsom called for a California version of the Marshall Plan, the
    American effort to rebuild Western Europe after World War II.
    Landmark California environmental laws will be suspended for wildfire
    victims seeking to rebuild their homes and businesses, according to an executive order signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

    Requirements for building permits and reviews in the California
    Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act — often
    considered onerous by developers — will be eased for victims of the
    fires in Pacific Palisades, Altadena and other communities, according to
    the order.
