Department of Environmental Quality; require to approve or deny permits within a prescribed time frame.

Summary

The bill would force the Department of Environmental Quality to respond to incomplete applications within 15 days and to approve or deny a complete permit application within 45 days. If the department does not act within that window, the application is deemed approved once any required fee is paid. The measure also makes minor wording changes to existing environmental statutes and was not passed, dying in committee.
