House Bill 1465 amends Chapter 87 of the Private Acts of 1973, specifically updating the provisions regarding building permit fees in Union County. The bill deletes the existing Section 3 and replaces it with new language that establishes a fee of fifty cents ($0.50) per square foot for all buildings that are constructed, erected, or reconstructed. Notably, 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.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body of Union County. The presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or nonapproval of the act and certifying it to the secretary of state. While the act will become effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approval, it will only be fully effective as outlined in the second section after the necessary legislative approval.
