Theological note: Scripture calls rulers to act justly, to protect the vulnerable, and to care for creation as a trust, while also honoring sound stewardship and orderly, non-redundant governance. This measure touches how environmental review is divided among agencies. Its relevance lies in whether it preserves adequate protection of neighbors and the land or only removes duplicative procedure, which the summary does not settle.
