CKH Deadline Tracking

Tracks statutory deadlines for CKH requirements, monitors compliance, and helps prevent costly procedural missteps that could attract lawsuits.

CKH Deadline Tracking

Overview

CivicBound tracks CKH Act statutory deadlines throughout the application review process, automatically calculating due dates from key milestones like application submission or hearing dates. Visual indicators show which deadlines are approaching or overdue, helping staff stay on top of compliance requirements. The system enforces compliance by ensuring critical statutory steps are completed before applications can advance. Track deadlines like the 30-day completeness review, 21-day hearing notices, and certificate filing requirements—all calculated automatically and monitored continuously. Every deadline action is logged with complete audit trails. The system adapts to different application types, adjusting timelines based on CKH Act requirements for your specific circumstances.

Use Cases

  • 30-Day Completeness Review: When an application is submitted, a 30-day deadline is automatically set for determining completeness (Gov Code 56658(c)). The deadline appears in dashboards with visual indicators showing time remaining, helping staff act before the deadline passes.

  • 21-Day Hearing Notices: When scheduling a public hearing, the system calculates the notice deadline—21 days before the meeting date. Staff can see at a glance whether notice deadlines have been met for each agenda item, ensuring compliance with public notice requirements.

  • Notification of Affected Agencies: For applications requiring affected agency noticing, the system tracks the statutory requirement for immediate notification upon submission (Gov Code 56658(b)(1)). These steps must be completed before applications can advance to the next stage.

  • Certificate Filing Deadlines: After the protest period ends, the system tracks the 30-day deadline for filing the Certificate of Completion (Gov Code 57203). The deadline is calculated automatically and displayed with other pending actions.

  • Compliance Enforcement: The system prevents applications from advancing when statutory requirements are incomplete or overdue. Staff must complete critical CKH Act compliance steps before proceeding, helping prevent procedural errors that could invalidate proceedings.
