On Thursday, November 29, the Senate Community & Urban Affairs Committee is scheduled to review three bills involving eminent domain and amendments to the Local Redevelopment & Housing Law. If any of these bills move out of committee at this time, there is a strong possibility that there would be enough time to move through the legislature during the lame duck session and be on the Governor’s desk for consideration prior to the close of the legislative year.
The bills are:
S-1975 (Rice) Senator Rice is the chair of the SCUA committee.
S-2088 (Sweeney) Note, this is a companion bill to A-3257 (Burzichelli), which passed the lower house by a vote of 51-18-11 and is on the SCUA committee agenda. The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee statement is attached.
