Second Read and Referred S Agriculture, Food Production and Outdoor Resources Committee
Summary
The bill moves the authority to hear contested environmental permit appeals from several specialized commissions to the state Administrative Hearing Commission. It establishes strict filing and decision timelines, and if a final decision is not made in time, the permit is automatically affirmed. When a permit is affirmed and the permit holder participated in the appeal, the holder may recover reasonable fees and damages unless the challenger’s position was substantially justified.
