I have been working with a group of concerned citizens that feel the abuse of Code Enforcement authority has lead to the violation of personal property rights and an infringement on a persons liberties. We have created a draft bill to address these concerns.
Please take a few minutes to read the draft and comment. Your comments may directly affect the final product. At some point during this Legislative session the Local and Military Affairs committee will be work shopping this draft bill. It is my hope that we will be able to draft a strong reform bill that will become law next year.
Please take some time, read and comment about this proposed legislation.
Thank You,
Ritch Workman
Chairman, Local and Military Affairs Committee
