AI Summary

  • Defines "mobility fee" as a local government fee schedule based on an adopted mobility plan, and "mobility plan" as an alternative transportation system study promoting compact, mixed-use development served by multimodal transportation in urban areas
  • Authorizes local governments that repeal transportation concurrency to adopt alternative transportation systems (mobility-plan and fee-based or otherwise), but prohibits such systems from imposing responsibility for funding existing transportation deficiencies on new development or being used to deny, time, or phase development approvals
  • Requires counties and municipalities that both charge developers a fee for transportation capacity impacts to execute interlocal agreements by October 1, 2025, ensuring developers are not charged twice for the same impacts; if no agreement is reached by that date, developers receive an automatic 10 percent fee reduction and the building-permit-issuing government collects and distributes the fee within 60 days
  • Requires impact fee calculations to be based on a study using the most recent and localized data available within 4 years of the current update, with the new study adopted within 12 months of initiation if the fee is increased; mandates dollar-for-dollar credits for any developer contributions including monetary payments, land dedication, site planning, design, or construction
  • Protects holders of existing impact fee credits when fees are increased or a local government transitions to an alternative transportation system, entitling them to the full benefit of the intensity and density prepaid by their credit balance as of the date the credit or system was established; effective October 1, 2024
