Summary

The bill updates the state's wetland permitting process by allowing the Department of Environment to hold a hearing within 60 days of a complete application and by mandating online posting of applications, notices and hearing schedules. It also clarifies how local governments can regulate wetlands, use a state‑provided application form, and must act on permits within set timeframes. These changes aim to make the permit process more transparent and coordinated between state and local authorities.
