The proposed 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 ensure their applications are complete and that local governments must inform applicants of any missing information within ten business days. Additionally, local governments are required to review complete applications within ten business days and publish a notice of determination regarding the application's completeness.

Furthermore, the bill allows for an extension of the review deadline if both the applicant and local government agree in writing, provided the local government explains the reason for the delay. Once an application is deemed complete, the relevant department must schedule a public hearing within forty-five business days if necessary. The bill declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these new provisions.
