Senate Bill 1448 amends Chapter 87 of the Private Acts of 1973, specifically altering the fee structure for building permits in Union County. The bill deletes the previous fee amounts of $225 for residential construction and $450 for commercial construction, replacing them with a new fee of fifty cents ($0.50) per square foot for all buildings constructed, erected, or reconstructed. Additionally, the bill specifies that no building permit or fee will be required for sheds or barns, and it repeals any conflicting provisions regarding building permit fees.

The bill requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote from the legislative body of Union County for it to take effect. While the act will become effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approving or rejecting its provisions, it will only be fully effective for other purposes once the legislative body approves it.
