Summary

The bill requires county and municipal governing bodies or planning commissions to approve or deny permit requests within 60 days, and if they fail to act the request is deemed approved. It also mandates written explanations for any denial or claim that a request is incomplete, and permits deadline extensions when a state or federal agency must first approve the request. The changes aim to give petitioners clearer timelines and avoid conflicts with other notice requirements.
