California SB904 facilitates rapid rebuilding after wildfires by suspending certain permitting requirements.

California SB904 aims to expedite recovery from wildfires by temporarily suspending specific permitting requirements that hinder rebuilding efforts. Upon a state of emergency declaration, state agencies and political subdivisions must accept electronic submissions for recovery-related applications. The bill mandates electronic filing options, including web-based portals and email, and prohibits rejection of electronic submissions. It also requires agencies to publish electronic filing details on their websites within 30 days of the emergency declaration.
