Bill > S1346

This bill, known as the "Resiliency and Safe Structures Act," prohibits local governments from restricting the demolition of certain nonconforming or unsafe structures, except for public safety reasons. It requires local governments to review demolition permit applications only for compliance with building codes and regulations applicable to the property, without subjecting them to additional land development regulations or public hearings. The bill also mandates that replacement structures be authorized to be developed in accordance with the maximum height and size allowed by local development regulations, without additional requirements or restrictions. The bill applies retroactively and preempts any local laws that limit the demolition of these structures or the development of replacement structures.
