Plain-English Summary
The ePermit Act would allow companies and individuals to apply for environmental permits online instead of through paper-based processes, making it faster and easier to get approval for projects like construction, mining, or industrial operations. This digital system would reduce paperwork, speed up government review times, and cut costs for businesses while helping environmental agencies process applications more efficiently. The bill affects anyone needing environmental permits—from small contractors to large corporations—and the federal agencies that oversee environmental compliance.
