Pilot program to improve permit processing by designating essential positions and offering incentives.
The bill establishes a pilot program to enhance permit processing in participating counties. It allows mayors to designate essential permitting positions, offering differential pay of at least 15% of salary to attract and retain workers. Personnel departments must prioritize hiring for these positions. Counties can also offer financial awards of at least 3% of annual salary for meeting performance goals. The program includes interdepartmental coordination and aims to reduce bottlenecks and delays. The pilot runs for five fiscal years, ending June 30, 2031, unless extended by the legislature.
