The Guardians of Martin County is very disappointed that the Governor has signed House Bill 7103 into law. Why is this law so dangerous?
Governor DeSantis
This legislation will make local comprehensive plans and growth management virtually impossible to enforce in Martin County and throughout the State.
This bill will:
• Make citizens and others who challenge development proposals and lose automatically liable for paying for the prevailing party’s attorney fees.
• For new towns, require local governments to adopt policies in comprehensive plans based on developers’ plans for growth, rather than on the input of local residents.
• Restrict whether local governments may require that affordable housing be part of any new development.
The Guardians will continue to monitor this story and keep you informed.
