Creates provisions relating to approval by political subdivisions of certain requests for developments or improvements of property
HB 2291 requires local governments (like cities or counties) to approve or deny development permit requests - such as for new buildings or renovations - within 30 days. If no decision is made within that timeframe, the request is automatically approved. Denials must include specific written reasons, such as citing code violations or detailing why professional work was rejected. The bill also sets rules for incomplete applications, requiring local governments to specify missing information and giving applicants 10 days to resubmit.
