What this bill does

Requires a city or county to use an administrative process for reviewing and approving a project permit application for indoor emergency shelters, transitional housing, indoor emergency housing, or permanent supportive housing (STEP housing). Requires the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to facilitate the resolution of disputes between a city or county and a project applicant or developer of STEP housing. Authorizes Commerce to issue a finding of noncompliance if dispute resolution is unsuccessful and the city or county has denied a project permit or development agreement, or enacted a zoning ordinance or development regulations, that prevent the siting of STEP housing.
