Summary

The bill tells the Department of Housing and Community Development to identify and recommend changes to state and local permitting rules that slow rebuilding after a large wildfire. It also forces all state agencies and local governments involved in recovery to accept electronic applications, with clear online instructions. The goal is to get permits and approvals issued quickly while covering any costs localities incur.
