Bill overview
This bill aims to speed up the process for restaurants to get permits for tenant improvements. It establishes a streamlined approval process where a qualified architect or engineer can certify that the plans meet building, health, and safety codes. If the local building department doesn’t approve or deny the plans within 20 business days, the plans are automatically deemed approved, with the option for resubmissions addressing identified issues within a 10-day timeframe. The bill also addresses disciplinary action for inaccurate certifications and clarifies liability for local agencies.
