Bill Summary

For legislation to support the equitable utilization of third party consultants in land use determinations. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill aims to support the equitable utilization of third-party consultants in land use determinations. It proposes to amend existing law by requiring municipalities to establish and maintain a certified list of approved outside consultants in relevant fields. The applicant would have the right to select the consultant(s) from this list and request proposals before making a selection. Additionally, the applicant would not be charged for the travel costs of the outside consultant, and where a proposed project requires review by multiple local boards, they would be required to coordinate the use of outside consultants to avoid duplication.
