HB 1519: Concerning local project review.

What this bill does

Provides that a project permit application is complete if it meets the procedural submission requirements of the local government as outlined on the project permit application. Provides default permit processing deadlines for local governments that do not, by ordinance or resolution, adopt different deadlines. Provides for the calculation of time periods related to permit processing deadlines and determinations of completeness. Requires local governments to provide refunds of permitting fees if permitting deadlines are missed, with a refund of either 10 percent or 20 percent of the fee, depending on by how long the deadline was missed. Provides optional additional project review provisions which, if at least three provisions are adopted, exempt the local government from the requirement to provide refunds if a permit processing deadline is missed.
