(a) For purposes of this section, “project alternative” means an alternative studied in a leadership project’s environmental impact report under Section 15126.6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations as those regulations existed on January 1, 2021. (b) Before a lead agency’s approval of a project alternative described in an environmental impact report for a leadership project certified by the Governor under this chapter, the Governor may, upon application of the applicant, certify the project alternative under this chapter if the project alternative meets the definition of a leadership project pursuant to Section 21180 and complies with Section 21183 as those sections existed at the time of the Governor’s certification of the leadership project. The applicant shall supply evidence and materials that the Governor deems necessary to make a decision on the application to certify the project alternative. Any evidence or materials provided by the applicant shall be made available by the Governor to the public at least 15 days before the Governor certifies a project alternative pursuant to this chapter. Paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 21184 shall not apply to the certification of a project alternative pursuant to this section. The findings made by the Governor pursuant to this section are not subject to judicial review. (c) The rule of court adopted under Section 21185 applies to actions or proceedings brought to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul a public agency’s approval of a project alternative certified under this section on the grounds of noncompliance with this division.
