  • Authorizes counties, cities, and towns to adopt alternative impact fee collection deferral systems if certain requirements are met.
  • Exempts counties, cities, and towns that have pre-existing impact fee delay processes that meet certain requirements from the obligation to establish an impact fee deferral system.
