The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to county planning by allowing county boards of supervisors (BOS) to authorize administrative personnel to review and approve various planning documents, including assurances, without the need for a public hearing. This change would enable a county employee, as designated by an adopted ordinance, to review and approve subdivision plats, thereby streamlining the approval process. Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "license" and makes technical adjustments to existing language.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the requirements for the acceptance and recording of subdivision plats, allowing for approval by either the BOS or an authorized county employee. It also clarifies that the approval of a plat does not imply acceptance of any streets or facilities into the county maintenance system until they are fully completed. The bill includes provisions for waiving preliminary plat requirements under certain conditions and mandates that any approvals must be documented on the face of the plat, ensuring compliance with water supply regulations.
