Things are heating up on the legislative front as we get closer to the January start of the 2022 state legislature general session.  The Land Use Task Force continues to meet, but it sounds like they have still not settled on any specific bill language on the issues they’ve been discussing.

Here’s the current list of pre-filed bill titles that have been submitted for the upcoming session that have to do with land use. There are several others that might relate to land use as well but also may not, we’ll just have to keep an eye on them and see.  As has become more common lately, several of these bill titles portend measures that have not been discussed by the LUTF, and may be surprises. Always makes for interesting sessions!
