Conference committee discusses statewide permitting data standard requiring monthly county reporting

Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection · May 2, 2026

Summary

Managers outlined a measure requiring a statewide permitting data standard and monthly publication of building and civil-engineering permit data; members agreed to roll the measure for final release and review.

Committee members described a draft that would require the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, county permitting agencies and the chief data officer to develop a statewide permitting data standard, and would require each county to publish monthly building and civil-engineering permit data under that standard.

Managers said the bill "requires each county to publish monthly updates of building and civil engineering permit data in accordance with that standard," and that the measure would also require a report back to the legislature. Because the house side did not yet have full finance release, members agreed to roll the item to a later slot for final action.

Proponents emphasized the transparency benefits of standardized permitting data and monthly reporting; managers said the language was a collaborative product between state and county offices. The committee set a follow-up time for continued consideration.
