IA HF2484

Creates a permit transparency program administered by the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing to standardize and track permit processing across state agencies.

Establishes a publicly accessible online permit transparency portal allowing applicants to search permit requirements, submit applications electronically, track application status, pay fees, and view processing timelines.

Requires a permit transparency coordination committee composed of representatives from each permit-issuing agency, meeting at least quarterly to share best practices and develop recommendations for improving permitting processes.

Mandates an annual permitting efficiency report due February 1 to the governor and general assembly, including statistics on applications received, approved, and denied, average processing times, and reasons for delays.

Directs each agency to designate a program liaison, integrate with the portal, establish timelines for each procedural stage, and accept electronic application submissions where practicable.
