This bill mandates that all state departments responsible for permitting programs related to real property must submit an annual report detailing their permitting activities. The new section, 20:6-a, is added to RSA 20, requiring these reports to be submitted by April 30 each year, starting in 2027. The reports must include information on each permitting program, the types of permits issued, statutory timeframes for applications, and statistics on applications received, granted, denied, withdrawn, voided, and pending decisions. Additionally, the reports must outline the duration of any pending applications and the reasons for delays.

The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the permitting process by providing comprehensive data to key legislative leaders, including the senate president and the speaker of the house. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is anticipated to be September 13, 2025. No deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
