Adds two conditions for permit approval: either a qualified determination that the project won't affect historic properties or completion of the state historic preservation process
Adds floodplain management requirement: projects must either avoid Special Flood Hazard Areas or receive county floodplain management approval
Establishes a 60-day maximum processing time for building permits, with automatic approval if not denied within that timeframe
Effective date listed as April 23, 2057 appears to be a clerical error and should likely be 2025
