AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Highway Code to create an expedited permit review process for applicants seeking permits for entrances or exits to subdivisions designated for affordable housing developments. Applicants can request this expedited review from the Department of Transportation (IDOT), and if granted, they must pay a $10,000 expedited permit fee, in addition to any other required fees, which will be deposited into the Road Fund. The bill defines "expedited review" as IDOT acting on the permit application within a timeframe mutually agreed upon by both parties, though this timeframe can be paused if IDOT is waiting for necessary information from the applicant. If IDOT fails to meet the agreed-upon review period, the applicant is entitled to a prorated refund of the expedited permit fee. This expedited process does not apply to permit applications related to emergencies requiring immediate action, and IDOT is authorized to create rules to implement these provisions.
