The bill proposes to exempt certain subdivisions from the requirement of undergoing environmental review, thereby streamlining the development process for these areas. It mandates the Department of Environmental Quality to adopt specific rules to facilitate this exemption and outlines the authority for rulemaking in this context.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for an immediate effective date, ensuring that the changes can be implemented without delay. This legislative action aims to reduce regulatory burdens on developers while still maintaining some level of oversight through the established rules by the Department of Environmental Quality.
