Summary

The bill requires any developer proposing five or more new homes to prepare a report that identifies safe walking and biking routes to nearby public schools. Local planning authorities cannot approve the subdivision or site plan until the report is reviewed and approved by both the planning agency and the county board of education. The goal is to ensure new neighborhoods support safe access for students.
