Any state permitting, county regulations or municipality shall treat private schools the same as public schools when it comes to building permits, fees charged, safety standards, waste water management, septic systems, and the timeliness of permitting process
HB 2460 requires state permitting agencies, counties, and municipalities to treat private and parochial schools the same as public schools for all construction-related requirements. This includes building permits, fees, safety standards, wastewater management, septic systems, and the speed of permit approvals. The bill directly affects private and parochial schools (non-public, often religiously affiliated institutions) and the government entities that regulate construction processes. It mandates equal application of these rules to end current disparities where private schools faced stricter or different requirements than public schools.
