Bill Summary
As introduced, requires proposed subdivision plans to be approved by a local planning commission or other agency authorized to approve such plans prior to their submission to the department for approval rather than such plans being approved by the department first. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13 and Title 68, Chapter 221.
AI Summary
This bill requires that before a proposed subdivision plan can be submitted to the state department for approval, it must first receive approval from a local planning commission or another local agency that has the authority to approve such plans. The state department, referred to as "the commissioner" in the bill, will no longer be the initial approver. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state department update its website to allow individuals to upload official documentation from their local planning commissions or authorized agencies as proof of their subdivision plan's local approval. This change aims to streamline the permitting process by ensuring local authorities review subdivision plans before they move to the state level, and it will take effect on July 1, 2026, applying to all permit applications approved by local entities after that date.
