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 a detailed document outlining the building permit requirements, making it 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 if an application is incomplete, the local government must notify the applicant of any missing information within ten business days.

Additionally, the bill requires local governments to review complete applications within ten business days and publish a notice of determination regarding the application's completeness. If the local government cannot meet this deadline, it must provide written notice to the applicant explaining the delay. Once an application is deemed complete, a public hearing must be scheduled within forty-five business days for final approval or denial. The bill declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025.
