Committee advances RS 32612, removes 45-day approval deadline from Building Code Act draft
Summary
The Senate State Affairs Committee sent RS 32612 to print after members discussed a change that removes a 45-day approval/denial timeline but keeps a 10-day notice-of-completeness requirement and changes a publication requirement to 'provide' permit-process lists.
Senator Galloway described RS 32612 to the Senate State Affairs Committee March 7 as a revision of RS 32551. The draft removes a previously defined 45-day timeline for approving or denying permit applications but retains a requirement that agencies notify applicants about application completeness within 10 days. The bill also changes language so permitting agencies must 'provide' rather than 'publish' a list of permit process requirements.
Senator Ruchti asked what problem the legislation aimed to address; Senator Galloway said the bill targets housing affordability and supply concerns. Vice Chairman Bernt moved that RS 32612 be sent to print; Senator Den Hartog seconded the motion and it carried by voice vote.
The minutes reflect the committee moved the revised draft to printing for further consideration; the record in this transcript does not show subsequent amendments or a roll-call vote.
