Bill to Set Deadlines for Permits Introduced

February 27, 2026

SB 447 regulates deadlines for actions by Local Issuing Authorities on permit applications. It requires local governments to provide a written list of reasons for the denial or nonacceptance of a permit. Additionally, it defines a 14-day deadline for review of a resubmission of a permit application following the 45 days as specified by law. If the local government does not issue or deny a permit within the allotted time, applicants may seek legal action against the Local Issuing Authority.
