HB 2100: administrative completeness review; licensing
Sponsor: Representative Griffin, LD 19
Committee on Government
Overview
Directs a state agency to include on their website a list of items needed for an application to
be deemed administratively complete.
History
An agency that issues licenses must have in place final rules establishing an overall time
frame during which the license will either be granted or denied by the agency. If a statutory
licensing time frame already exists for an agency but it does not specify separate time frames
for the administrative completeness review and the substantive review, the agency must
establish by rule separate time frames which together must not exceed the overall time frame
(A.R.S. § 41-1073).
The administrative completeness review time frame is the number of days from agency receipt
of an application for a license until the agency determines that the application contains all
components required by statute or rule. This time frame does not include the period of time
during which an agency provides public notice of the license application or performs a
substantive review of the application (A.R.S. § 41-1072).
If an agency determines that a license application is not administratively complete, the
agency must include a comprehensive list of the specific deficiencies in a written notice
pursuant to statute. The application is deemed administratively complete if an agency does
not issue a written notice of administrative completeness or deficiencies within the
administrative completeness review time frame (A.R.S. § 41-1074).
