This bill introduces new provisions regarding the issuance of building permits along private roads by local governing bodies. It establishes an alternative condition for authorization, allowing local governing bodies to issue permits after reviewing comments from the planning board or confirming that the private road complies with municipal policy. This change aims to streamline the process for erecting buildings on private roads.

Additionally, the bill modifies the appeals process to the zoning board of adjustment by removing the previous discretionary timeline for appeals and replacing it with a mandatory 30-day period for filing appeals. This change is intended to provide clarity and consistency in the appeals process, ensuring that applicants and affected parties have a defined timeframe to challenge decisions made by administrative officers. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
