SB 2017-111: Antineutrino-Simossad Affordable Housing Act of 2017 (Passed)

I will assume sponsorship for the bill.

Jolly good, thank you, Senator Scott.

I agree with Senator PiT that Section 4 needs further definition as well as Section 2 so that we can be more clear cut over where the housing crisis is needed. The problem is not uniformly distributed across the country and certain urban areas are in far greater need than others for a speed brake on rent increases.

I'll be working on something soon on that front, and am more than happy to hear what any of my colleagues would like to contribute.

[Barnes]

I agree fully with Senator PiT's concerns and apologize for not having drafted an amendment to ameliorate that issue, but other matters took precedence.

I would be most interested in developing both a legal definition and procedure which affords a clear set of rights to owners of properties deemed "vacant" through a clearly defined legal process and matter of compensation.
