This bill died with 2020 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Senate” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Grandfathering certain nonconforming use. Removes the requirement that in order for a wall build on residential property to be grandfathered as a valid nonconforming use, the residential property owner must have been informed by a local official that such wall required no permit.
