§ 6704 Deemed Approval By State Lands Commission
If the State Lands Commission doesn't give a written decision about a lease or contract within 90 days (or another agreed time), that silence counts as an approval and other lease rules start to apply.
A developer submits all the paperwork to lease state land and waits for the commission's written answer.
When the commission fails to send a decision within 90 days, the law treats it as if the commission said yes, so the lease can go forward and the rules in Section 6701 automatically apply.
