require that counties provide written notice to township supervisors of conditional use applications and appeals.

SB 237 requires developers seeking conditional use permits for projects that would significantly strain public infrastructure or rights-of-way to send certified mail notice to county or municipal authorities at least 45 days before applying. Authorities must then schedule a public hearing within 30 days to determine if a "haul road agreement" (a contract for using public roads to transport heavy materials) or other conditions are needed. Within 14 days after the hearing, authorities must provide a written decision to the applicant about required agreements or conditions. This bill directly affects developers, counties, and municipalities by adding procedural steps to review infrastructure impacts before granting permits.
