Licensing and permittingA strike-everything amendment to HB 2585 (s/e: government; time frames; appeal) was heard by the House Commerce Committee on Wednesday, February 15. The amendment revived legislation from last year that would require municipalities to act on license and permit applications within 45 days. Failure to do so would, in most cases, result in automatic approval of subject applications. The proposal was overtaken last year by deliberations on SB 1598 (cities; counties; regulatory review), a complex regulatory reform measure that was signed into law.The League testified against HB 2585 during the committee hearing. Subsequent to the testimony, Rep. Bob Robson (R-Chandler) expressed serious concerns about the viability of issuing permits for large manufacturing facilities within such a short timeframe. The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Jim Weiers (R-Phoenix) then asked for the bill to be held. |
