Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Allowing a municipality to voluntarily adopt the Informed Growth Act eliminates the state mandate identified in the committee amendment.  This amendment also removes the $40,000 applicant permit fee and replaces it with authorization for a municipality to assess a fee.  It removes the State Planning Office need to establish an Other Special Revenue Funds account to collect and disburse the permit applicant fees of $40,000 and the allocation related to establishment of the account is removed from the bill.
