Introduced
by
To revise the 2003 law that created local "land bank" authorities empowered to assemble and dispose of abandoned tax reverted property, so as to include "promote urban agriculture" among the things they are supposed to accomplish (along with "revitalize the economy, promote economic growth, and foster development"). Promoting "urban agriculture" that involves raising "livestock, poultry or other animals for profit" would be prohibited, however.
Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not excude raising "livestock, poultry or other animals for profit" from the "urban agriculture" the bill would authorize the promotion of, if local ordinances did not prohibit those things.
The substitute passed by voice vote
