The bill amends the Idaho Building Code Act by adding a new section, 39-4117, which establishes requirements for local governments regarding the building permit process. It mandates that local governments publish detailed documents outlining their building permit requirements, making them accessible to the public both online and in physical form. The bill also stipulates that applicants must make a good faith effort to submit complete applications, and local governments are required to inform applicants of any missing information within ten business days.

Additionally, the bill sets a ten-business-day timeline for local governments to review complete applications and publish a notice of determination regarding their completeness. If necessary, local governments must schedule a public hearing within forty-five business days after an application is deemed complete. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025.
