Requesting the Department of Accounting and General Services to form a working group to address delays in state projects requiring county permitting.

The bill requests the Department of Accounting and General Services to convene a working group to address delays in state projects requiring county permitting. The group will explore and recommend ways to streamline the permitting process, which has been reported to take six times longer than private sector applications, costing the state over $30 million in increased costs. The working group will include representatives from various state departments and county planning and permitting departments.
