Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Allowing a municipality to voluntarily adopt the Informed Growth Act eliminates the state mandate identified in the Committee Amendment.  It removes the $40,000 applicant permit fee and replaces this provision with authorization for a municipality to assess a fee.  It also removes the State Planning Office requirement to establish an Other Special Revenue Funds account to collect and disburse the permit applicant fees of $40,000.
