Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 8, 2010

Introduced by Sen. Valde Garcia (R-22)

To revise the law that authorizes local “historic district commissions” with the power to prohibit property owners from making exterior and in some cases interior changes to their buildings, by eliminating a requirement that members of the commission be residents of the community. Instead, they could just be renters or non-resident property owners.

Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs
