Legislators took up a number of pieces of legislation affecting municipalities this week, 大多数人的前景仍不确定. HB 201分区变更/公民意见, which would repeal the protest petition process which residents can use to challenge proposed municipal 和 county zoning changes, 通过了众议院地方政府委员会的审查,现在将进入众议院. The committee's approval was controversial after a proposed amendment to keep but modify the protest petition process appeared to have strong support, but by a voice vote -- with no show of h和s or roll call -- was ruled to have failed. 365足彩下载政府事务主任罗斯·沃恩·威廉姆斯向委员会发表了讲话, noting League support for a middle ground that would increase the threshold of adjoining property owners needed for a protest petition 和 lower the supermajority for council votes when a valid petition is presented.

HB 131麦琪谷镇/兼并 也得到了众议院地方政府委员会的批准, 尽管城镇官员反对这项措施. 该法案接下来将由众议院财政委员会审议. 国联反对这项措施, which would de-annex a neighborhood that several property owners moved into after it was already annexed into the town, 并将继续与市政官员合作,反对该法案的通过.

hb108土地及建筑发展基金 would establish a fund to provide loans to municipal 和 county governments to build or renovate buildings 和 provide infrastructure for commercial development sites. 该法案由 代表. Apex的保罗·斯塔姆他通过了众议院商务和就业发展委员会的审查. 众议员斯塔姆提出的另一项措施, HB 127 DOT谴责变更该案由众议院司法委员会审理. It would change quick-take condemnation procedures for the Department of Transportation 和 local governments, potentially delaying projects 和 increasing legal fees associated with road building 和 other infrastructure projects. The League's Erin Wynia spoke to committee members about municipalities' concerns regarding the legislation, 众议员斯塔姆似乎愿意考虑这些担忧. 

hb128对某些地方债务的公投 was calendared by the House Committee on Local 政府ernment but withdrawn after discussions between League staff 和 the bill's sponsor, 代表. 来自新伯尔尼的Michael Speciale. 本周提交的其他法案包括 HB 318保护北卡罗来纳州工人法案, which would repeal the E-Verify concessions that local governments won during the last legislative session; HB 304/SB 320户外广告法修订, which would establish new restrictions on local government ordinances related to billboard advertising; SB 338经济发展/税务调整, the Senate leadership's tax 和 jobs recruiting plan; 和 SB 336增加JDIG项目资金, a less ambitious jobs recruiting proposal that would boost funding for the state's primary industrial recruiting incentives program.

Next week's LeagueLINC Bulletin will revisit many of these pieces of legislation, with individual looks at several 和 closer examinations of their prospects for passage. 再次感谢你让我们度过了一个美好的市政厅日, 和 we look forward to turning that momentum into policy wins that keep cities 和 towns strong. 联系人: 玫瑰威廉姆斯
