Plain-language change summary

The amendments to HB 5936 clarify the timeline for processing permit applications related to natural resources and environmental protection. The changes establish that if a permit applicant requests extra time, the Department can extend the processing period by up to 120 days, but not beyond one year after the application is submitted. This ensures a clearer structure for both applicants and the Department, helping to reduce uncertainty and streamline the permitting process.
