DECISION AMENDING GENERAL ORDER 156
AND CALLING FOR WORKSHOPS

I. Summary

This rulemaking resulted from the Petition of the Greenlining Institute and Latino Issues Forum (Greenlining/LIF) to institute a rulemaking to amend General Order (GO) 156. We instituted this rulemaking to eliminate the exclusions currently permitted under GO 156, and to refine certain aspects of GO 156 verification and reporting.

This decision amends GO 156 to eliminate the exclusions. It also calls for the parties to recommend further amendments to GO 156 through the workshop process.
