Summary

The bill requires local governments to accept private inspection reports unless they point out deficiencies within two business days, and it creates clear deadlines for approving or denying erosion‑control permits. It also mandates written reasons for any denial, refunds fees if deadlines are missed, and forces counties to publish real‑time permit status online. These changes aim to speed up development, reduce uncertainty, and increase accountability.
