The bill amends the Stille-DeRossett-Hale single state construction code act by adding a new section, 11c. This section stipulates that if the department fails to grant or deny a building permit application within the specified time frame outlined in section 11(1), the department is required to reimburse the applicant for the fee paid under section 10. This provision aims to ensure timely processing of permit applications and provide financial recourse for applicants in cases of delays.
Additionally, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of three specific bills from the 103rd Legislature, namely House Bill No. 5932, House Bill No. 5933, and House Bill No. 5935. This requirement indicates that the implementation of the new reimbursement policy is linked to broader legislative changes that are being considered concurrently.
