Public Policy Committee Supports SB 330

At its July 9 meeting, of the Chamber’s Public Policy Committee heard from the Building Industry Association and the Raise the Balloon organization on SB 330 (Skinner): the Housing Crisis Act of 2019. SB 330 restricts actions by cities and counties that would reduce the production of housing. The bill states that for the next five years, local governments cannot initiate any new restrictions on housing production. If a proposal to build new housing meets existing zoning rules, that application must be processed quickly. The Chamber Public Policy Committee voted to support the bill. The bill then went to the Chamber Board of Directors at the July 25 meeting and the Board also voted to support the legislation.
