A bill for an act creating a permit transparency program under the administration of the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing.

HF 2484 creates a public online portal managed by Iowa's Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to track permit applications. It requires all state agencies issuing permits (like building or business licenses) to map their processes, set clear timelines, and integrate with the portal. The portal must let applicants track applications, view fees and processing times, submit documents electronically, and access historical data. Agencies must also conduct an audit within 180 days to identify unnecessary permits or redundant steps for potential elimination. This directly affects agencies and applicants by making permit processes more visible and standardized.
