Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 5502 changes the focus from requiring the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to issue decisions on commercial project applications within ninety days to instead requiring the department to notify applicants of any deficiencies in their applications within ninety days. This means that, rather than a definitive decision being made within that time frame, applicants will be informed of any issues that need to be addressed to progress their application. This change can help applicants understand what is needed for their submissions and potentially expedite the overall application process.
