HB 2781-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Revises provisions relating to state agency review of development regulations.

Provides that, each county and city planning under chapter 36.70A RCW may request expedited review for any amendments for permanent changes to a development regulation. Upon receiving a request for expedited review, and after consultation with other state agencies, the department may grant expedited review if the department determines that expedited review does not compromise the state's ability to provide timely comments related to compliance with the goals and requirements of this chapter or on other matters of state interest. Cities and counties may adopt amendments for permanent changes to a development regulation immediately following the granting of the request for expedited review by the department.
