The proposed "Licensing Time Frames Transparency Act" mandates that the Construction Industries Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department, along with local agencies that have been granted licensing and permitting authority, must regularly publish information regarding the time frames for processing licenses, permits, and other regulatory approvals. This act introduces new definitions and requirements for agencies, including the need to report on various metrics such as average, median, and maximum time frames for permissions, as well as the number of applications pending final agency action. Agencies are required to submit this information quarterly, specifically by the last day of January, April, July, and October, for the preceding three-month period.

The act also establishes a clear framework for what constitutes different time frame metrics, such as "final agency action," "total pending time frame," and "total time frame." This transparency initiative aims to enhance accountability and efficiency in the licensing process, ensuring that applicants are informed about the status and timelines of their applications. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
