Summary

The bill obligates Michigan's environmental department to approve or deny permit applications by a set deadline, with limited extensions allowed at the applicant's request. If the department fails to meet the deadline, it must pay the applicant 15% of the larger of the application fee or the first periodic assessment fee, and for certain permits the application is automatically considered approved. The law also requires written decisions, documentation of denials, and reporting of failures to legislative appropriations committees.
