Summary

The measure amends the Uniform Environmental Permitting Act to define new terms and to require applicants for Tier II and Tier III permits to publish legal notices in local newspapers and notify neighboring landowners. For Tier III applications, it also mandates a 30‑day window for the public to request a “process meeting” where the Department explains the permitting steps. These changes aim to increase transparency and public participation in higher‑impact environmental permits.
