Any written notice from the local government to the applicant that additional information is required to further process the application must include a notice that non-responsiveness for 60 consecutive days may result in 30 days being added to the time for review. For the purposes of this subsection, "non-responsiveness" means that an applicant is not making demonstrable progress on providing additional requested information to the local government, or that there is no ongoing communication from the applicant to the local government on the applicant's ability or willingness to provide the additional information.

EFFECT:   

Provides that, if an applicant notifies a local government in writing that the applicant would like to temporarily suspend review of the application for more than 60 days, or if an applicant is non-responsive to a request for additional information from the local government for more than 60 days, then an additional 30 days may be added to the deadline for the local government to issue a final decision on the application.

Requires any written local government notification to an applicant that additional information is required on the application to include notice that non-responsiveness may result in an additional 30 days being added to the deadline for the local government's review of the application.

Defines "non-responsiveness" to mean that an applicant is not making demonstrable progress on providing the local government with additional requested information, or that there is no ongoing communication from the applicant to the local government on the applicant's ability or willingness to provide the information.

Makes a technical correction to an internal reference.
