House Urban Affairs Hearing Thursday, April 16th

The House Urban Affairs Committee has scheduled HB 37 by Corte and HB 1389 by Chairwoman Davis for public hearing on Thursday, April 16th at 10:30 am in E2.028 at the Capitol. TLC will support these bills.

HB 37 would allow a city to condemn property that has characteristics of "blight" or a "slum" only if the condition of the property is an immediate threat to public health and safety.

HB 1389 would tighten the definition of "blighted area" for condemnation by a city and require compensation to include relocation costs for a homestead or farm.
