Construction: permits; reimbursement of permit fees if permit is not issued or denied within deadline; provide for permits issued by the department. Amends sec. 11 of 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1511).

HB 5934 amends Michigan's construction code to set strict deadlines for building permit decisions, requiring agencies to approve, deny, or partially grant applications within 10 business days, or 15 days for unusually complex projects. If an agency misses these deadlines, the bill treats the delay as an automatic denial, allowing the applicant to immediately appeal to a board of appeals. Additionally, the legislation mandates that if the state department fails to make a permit decision within the required timeframe, it must reimburse the applicant for the permit fees they paid.
