Summary

This bill creates a faster state review path for qualifying starter-home and multifamily projects that already comply with local zoning and safety rules, sets deadlines for local permit decisions, and requires cities to publicly list impact fees and other housing approval costs in a standard format.

Full text

To address housing-driven inflation and reduce everyday living costs, this bill creates a state fast-track review process for qualifying starter-home and multifamily housing developments that meet existing local zoning, building, and safety standards, establishes clear deadlines for permit and site-plan decisions by local governments, and requires municipalities to publish all development impact fees, utility connection charges, and related housing approval costs in a standardized public format before application submission; the bill further directs the relevant state agency to issue model reporting standards and annual compliance summaries without limiting local authority over health, safety, or land-use planning.
