LICENSING TIME FRAMES TRANSPARENCY ACT

HB 335, the Licensing Time Frames Transparency Act, requires the state's Construction Industries Division and local agencies with delegated authority to issue construction permits and licenses to publicly report processing times and pending applications. Starting January 1, 2026, these agencies must publish quarterly on the state website the average, median, and maximum processing times for each permit type, along with the number of pending applications. This transparency gives businesses and individuals clear, real-time data on typical wait times for construction-related permits. The bill does not change processing requirements but mandates disclosure of current time frames to improve clarity for applicants.
