Summary

The bill adds a new rule that forces the department to return the fee an applicant paid if it does not grant or deny a building permit (or any additional permit) within the time limits set by law. It affects anyone who applies for a construction permit in Michigan, protecting them from paying for delayed decisions. The reimbursement requirement only takes effect if three companion bills also become law.
