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.
