SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 203 seeks to amend Section 74-2-7 NMSA 1978 by moving up the deadlines for processing and approval of operating permits by the Department of Environment.
Significant Issues
The bill provides that a final decision must be rendered in 90 days after submission of an application that is not subject to requirements for prevention of significant deterioration or 180 days after submission if the application is subject to requirements for prevention of significant deterioration.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
The Department of Environment may not currently have the resources to effectively review permit applications under the new deadlines.
