No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would prohibit certain municipalities from adopting or enforcing certain size and density requirements on residential lots. No significant costs to state agencies are anticipated. 

Local Government Impact

There could be an impact on certain municipalities with regulations in place pertaining to the size or density of residential lots that would be prohibited under the bill. There could be an impact on a municipality that would be subject to the payment of damages or court fees after legal action is taken against the municipality. The authorization of a permitting fee could present an impact to municipalities that choose to assess the fee.
