relative to real property annual reporting requirements of state departments for permitting programs.

SB 74 requires all New Hampshire state departments that issue permits for real property use, construction, or infrastructure to submit annual reports starting April 30, 2027. These reports must detail each permit program, the number of applications received and decisions made (approved, denied, withdrawn, pending), and specifically track delays exceeding 60, 120, and 180 days, including reasons like technical reviews or backlogs. The bill directly affects departments managing permitting programs, such as those for building permits or land development. It becomes effective September 13, 2025, with the first reports due April 30, 2027.
