(2) The notice shall be addressed to the government entity imposing the land use regulation, and shall be prepared and delivered according to the requirements of Subsection 63G-7-401(3).

(3) Mailing of the notice required by Subsection (1) tolls the limitation period for bringing an action under this chapter for a period of 75 days, starting on the day the notice was mailed.

(4) Notwithstanding Subsection (1), a person may bring an action under Section 63L-5-301 before the expiration of the 60-day notice period if:

(b) the person was not informed of and did not otherwise have knowledge of the land use regulation in time to reasonably provide 60 days notice.

(5)(a) A government entity provided with the notice required by Subsection (2) may remedy the substantial burden on the person's free exercise of religion:

(ii) in the case of an action properly brought according to Subsection (4), before the adjudication of a court hearing on the action.

(b) Nothing in this section prevents a government entity from providing a remedy after these time periods.

(6) The court may not award compensatory damages, attorney's fees, costs, or other expenses to a person if the substantial burden has been cured by a remedy implemented by the government entity according to Subsection (5)(a).
