SB 185 Postponed Indefinitely, But Rears Its Ugly Head In Amendment to SB 89

At the House Local Government hearing on Tuesday, April 11, Representative Liston, the House sponsor of SB 185, requested that the bill be postponed indefinitely. (SB 185 proposed to extend the CCIOA exemption for small and limited expense planned communities created after July 1, 1998 to all small and limited expense communities. Our objections to this proposal are discussed in this post.) The Committee then voted to postpone the bill indefinitely, which has the same effect as killing a bill. Unfortunately, the demise of SB 185 is not the end of the story due to an amendment added at the last minute to SB 89 by SB 185’s proponents. (Click here to view amendment.)
