Requiring local governments to meet specified deadlines for issuing building permits and requiring the department of health and environment to issue a response to an applicant's submitted notice of intent to discharge stormwater runoff from construction activities within 45 days of submission.

Establishes a strict 60-day deadline for local governments to approve or deny applications and a 15-day deadline to notify applicants of missing information.

Clarifies that if a local government fails to identify missing information within 15 days, the 60-day approval clock begins from the date the incomplete application was originally received.

Requires local governments to provide an opportunity for applicants to fix deficiencies if an application is initially deemed incomplete.

Creates an exception allowing applicants to agree to 'phased permitting,' which exempts them from the standard 60-day approval timeline.

Mandates that if a deficiency cannot be cured within a reasonable time, the local government must deny the application while allowing the applicant to resubmit without additional fees.

Reordered the document structure to place the 'zoning board of appeals' definition at the beginning and updated the amendment header to reflect the House Committee of the Whole.

The definition of 'Application' was expanded to cover multifamily residential, commercial, and industrial improvements in addition to single-family residential improvements.

The definition of 'Application' was clarified to explicitly exclude appeals to zoning boards of appeals or planning commissions, preventing those specific legal actions from triggering the fast-track permit deadlines.

The summary act title and statutory references were updated to explicitly state that the bill amends and repeals existing sections of K.S.A. 12-752 and 12-759.

The definition of 'Application' was changed to exclude appeals to zoning boards of appeals or planning commissions, limiting the fast-track deadlines strictly to building permit requests.

A new 'deemed approval' provision was added, requiring local governments to automatically approve an application if they fail to provide a decision within 60 days of receipt.

New restrictions were added to prevent local governments from denying an application or imposing new conditions based on rules, ordinances, or policies adopted after the application was submitted.

The previous requirement allowing applicants to resubmit denied applications without additional fees was removed from the text.

New subsections were added to clarify that deadlines include weekends but exclude federal and state holidays, and to define how electronic signatures and digital submissions count for meeting deadlines.
