If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding county planning and development by allowing county boards of supervisors (BOS) to authorize administrative personnel to review and approve certain planning documents, including assurances, without the need for a public hearing. Specifically, it would enable a county employee, as designated by an adopted ordinance, to review and approve subdivision plats, thereby streamlining the approval process. The bill also clarifies the definition of "license" and makes technical adjustments to existing language.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for the approval of subdivision plats, allowing for endorsements by either the BOS or an authorized county employee. It specifies that the approval process must include written identification of assurances, and it allows for waivers of preliminary plat requirements under certain conditions. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the efficiency of the planning and development process at the county level while maintaining necessary oversight and compliance with water supply regulations.
