According to the LA Times, "two Hollywood mega-projects could mark the Los Angeles skyline years sooner than planned if state lawmakers pass a bill intending to cut down on lawsuits against large developments in California."
"The bill aims to force any environmental lawsuit against the projects to wrap up within nine months, a perk that proponents believe would allow the developments to be built three years sooner than would otherwise be possible without such a law in place."
