Bill Summary

RESOLUTION urging the counties to act on any building permit application for modification of a residence that is prescribed by a licensed health care provider and found by the county to be essential to the safety or health of an older adult or person with a DISABILITY within forty-five days of receipt of a complete application.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution urges counties to process building permit applications for home modifications, which are recommended by a licensed healthcare provider and deemed essential for the safety or health of older adults or individuals with disabilities, within 45 days of receiving a complete application. The resolution highlights that significant delays in approving these modifications, such as installing ramps or grab bars, can lead to increased risks of falls and injuries for seniors, straining healthcare systems and preventing them from aging independently at home. By establishing this timeline, the resolution aims to improve efficiency, accountability, and access to crucial home safety improvements.
