Concerning the definition of project permit and project permit application.
HB 1935 clarifies the definitions of "project permit" and "project permit application" for local governments and permit applicants. The bill explicitly states that building permits are not considered project permits. It also mandates that local governments exclude interior alterations from site plan review, provided these changes do not add sleeping quarters, violate FEMA thresholds, or require upgraded fire systems. However, interior alterations remain subject to existing building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical codes.
