The bill would authorize certain counties to adopt rules governing plats
and subdivisions of land within the unincorporated area of the county;
to regulate the width of a right-of-way on certain streets and roads; to
regulate lot frontages and set backs; to contract with developers
without complying with the competitive sealed bidding procedure in
certain circumstances to construct public improvements, not including a

notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county.
