relating to municipal permitting requirements for certain development projects supported with low income housing tax credit allocations.
Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Big cities decide these permits in half the usual time.
The bill makes cities with more than 100,000 people decide building permits for low income housing tax credit projects in no more than half the time they normally allow for residential permits. It touches city permit offices and developers whose projects received state-allocated low income housing tax credits. These developers also get access to any fast-track review a city already offers, while city zoning rules stay untouched.
