Bill would assist property owners challenging government land-use restrictions

Rep. Kaylee Tuck

A House panel has approved a measure that would make it easier for property owners to challenge government land-use restrictions under the Bert Harris Property Rights Act.

The House Property Rights and Veterans Affairs Committee voted 15-2 on April 1 to approve PCSMB for HB 421 and 1101, a proposed committee substitute that merges, respectively, bills by Rep. Kaylee Tuck of Sebring and Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka of Ft. Myers, both Republicans, and both land-use attorneys.
