STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08791
The purpose of this legislation is to ameliorate conflicts where
cities are requiring infrastructure that, due to lack of public
water or sewer, result in an extreme, undue hardship on small
property owners. This amounts to a "taking" of their property
rights and the denial of approvals received from the county which
is the appropriate government constitutionally responsible for the
planning and control of the subject property.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.
