House panel moves bill to allow businesses to sue over lost income due to ordinances

Rep. Lawrence McClure

Over the strong objection of cities and counties, a House panel has approved a measure that would give businesses a right to sue when a local ordinance hurts their bottom line.

The Civil Justice and Property Rights Subcommittee voted 12-3 on January 13 to approve HB 569 by Rep. Lawrence McClure, R-Plant City.
