| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Permit Transparency (Prior HB 139) |
| Many businesses have expressed concern and frustration over the permitting process. They experience long waits without knowing when or if they will be approved, which sometimes results in work coming to a complete stop. In the near future, I will be re-introducing legislation to reform the permitting process (prior HB 139). My legislation will require all agencies, which issue permits, to increase transparency throughout the process. The legislation will require agencies to post information about the permits that they grant on their website, to create an accessible tracking system for applicants to check the status of their applications and to clearly state the legal authority that the agency relies on when rejecting a permit application. Please join me in cosponsoring this important piece of legislation, which promotes an accountable government that provides more clarity to businesses applying for permits. |
