2006 House Bill 6615

Authorize “land use courts”

Introduced in the House

Nov. 14, 2006

Introduced by Rep. Chris Kolb (D-53)

To authorize the creation of “land use courts” to hear disputes involving zoning and land use issues. These courts would have all the powers of regular courts, and would use judges who have received extra training in these kinds of cases. Defendants could move the proceedings to circuit court if desired.
