Rep. Hart Reintroduces Earlier Defeated Legislation

On Monday Rep. Phil Hart (R-District 3) managed to get an RS Printed and sent to the Second Reading Calendar before the public was able to weigh in. This move is particularly troubling since an almost exact version of this bill was defeated in committee the previous week. With only a few slight word changes H0616 is now on the second reading calendar. The Chamber opposses 616 on the same grounds that it lobbied against the earlier version H0568, for its unnecesary changes to current Urban Renewal Legislation that removes local authority from the decision making process that currently governs Urban Renewal Law and district expansion.
