AI Summary

This bill requires the proponents of any development requiring state approval to submit a Safety and Transportation Impact Review (STIR) to the executive offices of transportation and public safety. The STIR must analyze the effects of the development on vehicle traffic and safety, pedestrian traffic and safety, multi-modal transit, public infrastructure, safe access to open space, and public transportation systems. The proponents must submit a Draft STIR for consideration by the secretaries, who have 90 days to respond with comments or request more information. Only after the secretaries deem the Final STIR sufficient can the proponent seek zoning relief, certification, authorization, approvals, or permits for the underlying development.
