Sen. Dixon’s bill would impose 45‑day 'shot clock' on municipal land‑disturbance permits The Senate Rules Standing Committee advanced SB447 on Feb. 25, 2026. The bill would require municipalities to approve or deny land‑disturbance permits within 45 days, give applicants 14 days for resubmittals, and deem applications approved if local governments fail to act; the committee approved the substitute and moved it out of committee.

Sen. Dixon's new bill could revolutionize the land-permitting process by imposing a 45-day deadline for municipalities, ensuring projects aren't stalled by bureaucratic red tape.

This is very much not the point but hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social this is why we keep telling you not to repeal NEPA in #permittingreform. Someday there will be something built that you will want to comment on or stop - NEPA doesn’t stop things from being built, but it does guarantee a process.

Nebraska bill would impose 75‑day 'shot clock' and by‑right approvals to speed housing projects LB1094 would require permitting authorities to act on applications within 75 days and require approval of projects that meet local zoning rules. Proponents say the changes combat costly delays that hinder housing production; city planners and municipal associations urged clearer definitions and cautioned the timeline may not fit larger entitlement processes.

A new Nebraska bill could revolutionize housing development by mandating a 75-day approval process for local projects, but not everyone is on board with the timeline.

DEP highlighted persistent vacancies (about 39) and a new online licensing system and third-party reviewers to reduce permitting delays.

Maine's Board of Environmental Protection warns that an overly broad appeals process is slowing down licensing decisions, while the DEP rolls out new strategies to tackle permitting delays.

Trump admin orders Washington state coal plant to stay running TransAlta’s Centralia power plant was meant to close at month’s end and be converted to burn gas by 2028. DOE’s must-run order complicates that plan.

See, that's the case for #permittingreform -- we can build new, more efficient power plants so that these expensive old ones can be retired.

Permitting talks are back, and clean energy is caught in the middle Congress is taking another stab at energy-permitting reform, but legislation that doesn’t prioritize renewables and transmission is unlikely to go…

“We are committed to streamlining the permitting process — but only if it ensures we can build out transmission and cheap, clean energy ... ​the SPEED Act does not meet that standard.”
How frustrating 😂.
#PermittingReform was supposed to be a #bipartisan thing 😂.

But to do that, we first need to fight back against the power, wealth, and influence of the fossil fuel, Big Tech, and extractive lobbyists who are saturating Washington, D.C., by defeating the #SPEEDAct.

We can build the green infrastructure required of the 21st Century without compromising public lands and environmental safeguards. The climate and biodiversity crises demand swift action to strengthen these safeguards.
