EFFECT:  This amendment removes the requirement that local planning departments include federal, state, and tribal laws and review procedures in the materials available to permit applicants.

    The amendment also changes the format in which local governments' planning regulations shall be presented, from a handbook to handouts.

    Finally, the amendment changes the type of help that the permit assistance staff must provide.  Rather than advice, the permit assistance staff must give assistance.
