House Bill 1465 amends Chapter 87 of the Private Acts of 1973, as previously modified by Chapter 31 of the Private Acts of 2005, specifically addressing 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 exempts sheds and barns from requiring a building permit and stipulates that no fee will be collected for these structures. Additionally, any conflicting provisions regarding building permit fees are repealed.

The bill requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote from the legislative body of Union County for it to take effect. The presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or disapproval of the act, which will then be certified to the secretary of state. While the act will become effective immediately upon becoming law for the purpose of its approval or rejection, it will only take effect for all other purposes once the legislative body has voted.
