Bill > HB4607

This bill aims to ensure that private and parochial schools receive the same treatment as public schools when it comes to constructing their buildings. It addresses a legislative finding that private and parochial schools have recently faced different and more demanding restrictions compared to public schools in the building process. To implement this, the bill mandates that any state agency, county, or municipality responsible for issuing permits for construction must apply the same standards and processes to private and parochial schools as they do to public schools. This includes aspects like obtaining building permits, the fees associated with them, safety regulations, wastewater and septic system requirements, the speed of the permitting process, and other related building rules.
