Committee schedules follow‑ups on municipal zoning, current‑use and miscellaneous tax items
Loading...
Summary
After focusing on paraquat language, the committee moved to other agenda items including municipal zoning exemptions for farm animals, a foster‑care tax insertion into the miscellaneous bill, and scheduling a follow‑up on current‑use issues (equine and unpermitted structures).
After detailed drafting work on Act 8739 (paraquat), the chair turned to miscellaneous committee business and said members were close to finishing several signature items.
The committee reviewed municipal zoning language and municipal exemption options related to farm animals and nuisance concerns in downtown centers. The chair said the committee was waiting on language the House had worked on and planned to consult Attorney Collier if needed; the chair said he was prepared to move ahead independently if the House language did not arrive.
Members agreed to insert an existing foster‑care tax provision into the committee's miscellaneous bill and to continue work on current‑use issues in a follow‑up meeting at 10:00, which will address equine matters and structures built without correct filing.
The chair asked staff to schedule further discussions and to try to reach agreement with unit‑pricing stakeholders; Linda was tasked with scheduling the next meeting to continue negotiations.
No votes were taken on these items; members set staff follow‑ups and a next meeting.
