California Residential Private Permitting Review Act: residential building permits.

The California Residential Private Permitting Review Act allows local agencies to contract with private entities for plan-checking functions. It requires cities and counties to provide applicants an estimated timeframe for permit compliance checks. If the timeframe exceeds 30 business days, applicants can hire private professionals to check plans. The bill also outlines requirements for private professionals, including affidavits and reports. It mandates that cities and counties consider these reports and either issue permits or notify applicants of noncompliance.
