Summary

The bill adds a clear definition of “commercial, industrial, or institutional (CII) site” for stormwater discharge permits, based on county tax assessor land‑use codes, and excludes any residential portions. It also reduces the required mailing notice period for unprotested permit hearings from 20 days to 15 days. These changes aim to streamline permitting and clarify which private lands are subject to stormwater regulations.
