Introduced by Rep. Joanne Voorhees (R) on May 12, 2004, to require that the various business and agricultural licenses and permits required under the “Grade A Milk Law” of 2001 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 House Bills 5876 to 5904.
Referred to the House Agriculture and Resource Management Committee on May 12, 2004.
Reported in the House on June 1, 2004, without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
