ISSUE 6 - February 17, 2012

Permit Self-Certification

HB 2168 (building permits; self-certification process) provides that, "on receipt of any completed permit application, a municipality shall give the applicant the option of obtaining the issuance of the requested permit through a municipally directed permitting process or through self-certification." The bill further outlines standards for the establishment of the mandated self-certification program.

The League has worked extensively with the bill sponsor, Rep. Jeff Dial (R-Chandler), to mitigate its effects on cities and towns. Working with affected parties, the League developed an amendment, acceptable to the sponsor, which would limit the bill's application to large cities and require implementation of self-certification pilot projects.

After being held in the House Committee on Government last Tuesday, February 7, the bill was not included on any committee agenda this past week. Because this is the last week to formally hear bills in their house of origin, the bill is unlikely to move forward.
