The bill mandates the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to create and maintain a web-based permit application tracker. This tracker will allow both applicants and the public to monitor the status of permit applications submitted to the agency. The information provided through this tracker will include essential details such as the facility name, permit program category, permit type, facility identification number, permit number, and the dates on which various steps in the permitting process are completed.

To implement this requirement, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116.07, by adding a new subdivision (Subd. 4o) that outlines the specifics of the permit application tracker. The section is set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
