| EFFECT: Requires that the nominations of the three task force members from community-based organizations also be based upon maintaining a balanced and diverse distribution of representation from census tracts that are ranked at an eight or higher on the cumulative impact analysis. Adds to the task force a member from a minority-owned small business located in, and serving, one or more census tracts that are ranked at an eight or higher on the cumulative impact analysis. Allows the task force's guidance to include the use of exposure scenarios developed by tribes in the designation of highly impacted communities (rather than requiring the guidance to include the use of such exposure scenarios). Authorizes a state agency to adopt rules, policies, or guidelines related to the cumulative impact analysis that are not consistent with the task force's guidance if the state agency provides a compelling reason to deviate from the task force's guidance. Requires a state agency that deviates from the task force's guidance related to the cumulative impact analysis to report such deviation to the Governor's Interagency Council on Health Disparities. Adds a severability clause. |
