This bill amends the existing law regarding the issuance of building permits along private roads by introducing an alternative condition for local governing bodies. Specifically, it allows these bodies to authorize building permits either after review and comment from the planning board or after confirming that the private road complies with policies established by the municipality's governing body. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the phrases "or after establishing that the private road identifies and complies with policy adopted by the governing body of the municipality."

The bill aims to provide a clearer pathway for local governing bodies to approve construction on private roads, thereby potentially streamlining the permitting process. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, allowing time for local authorities to adapt to the new regulations.
