Bill > HB5933

This bill, amending the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act, aims to establish clearer deadlines for the department when reviewing building permit applications. Specifically, it mandates that the enforcing agency, which is the entity responsible for reviewing and approving building permits, must either approve or deny an application within 10 business days of receiving it, or within 15 business days if the application is for an unusually complicated building or structure. The bill also introduces a new provision stating that if the department requires changes to an application, it must notify the applicant within these established timeframes and generally cannot request further changes after those periods have passed, unless otherwise specified. This aims to streamline the permit process and prevent delays by ensuring timely feedback from the department.
