Bill Summary

For legislation relative to variances. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to change the provisions related to variances granted by municipalities and regional governments. Specifically, the bill extends the time period during which the rights authorized by a variance must be exercised from one year to up to one year and six months, with the possibility of a 30-day extension granted by the permit granting authority. If the rights are not exercised within this timeframe, the variance will lapse, but the grantee can reestablish the rights by going through a new notice and hearing process.
