Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending section 41-1074, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to licensing time frames.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding the timeframes for agencies to review license applications. Specifically, it changes a provision that previously exempted the Department of Water Resources (DWR) from certain rules about when an application is considered "administratively complete." "Administrative completeness" means an application has all the necessary basic information and documentation required to begin a substantive review. The bill removes the exemption for DWR, meaning that if an agency, including DWR, fails to issue a written notice stating whether an application is administratively complete or listing any deficiencies within the established timeframe, the application will automatically be considered administratively complete. This change aims to ensure more consistent and timely processing of license applications across state agencies.
