Introduced in the Senate

Introduced by Sen. Jason Allen (R-37)

To require that the various licenses and permits required under the Food Law of 2000 be either granted or denied within six months of a person filing an application. The state would have to notify an applicant within 10 days if an application requires additional information or is not “administratively complete.” If the deadline is not met, the application fee would be waived, and the applicant would be granted a 15-percent discount on fees required in the following year. The bill is part of a permit streamlining package comprised of Senate bills 1207 to 1236, and House Bills 5876 to 5904.

Referred to the Committee on Economic Development, Small Business, and Regulatory Reform
