Bill > HB05287

This bill makes technical corrections to existing laws concerning planning and development, primarily by clarifying language and ensuring consistency. Specifically, it amends a section related to how municipalities can be designated as "tier IV" (a classification likely related to their development status or needs), ensuring this designation can only happen through a specific process outlined in the law. It also clarifies that funds from the "Municipal Restructuring Fund" can be distributed to third parties on behalf of designated municipalities, including those classified as tier II, III, or IV, and that these funds can be used to pay arbitrators involved in certain dispute resolution processes. Finally, it ensures that the definition of "planning region" used in one statute aligns with its definition in another statute, providing a consistent understanding of this term across different legal provisions. These changes are intended to improve the clarity and accuracy of the statutes governing planning and development.
