What changed in the latest version
14 added · 12 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of SB 2317 added additional requirements for a township to regain zoning authority. Specifically, it now requires townships to adopt a comprehensive plan along with a zoning ordinance. These changes are important because they ensure that townships have a clear plan in place for zoning before they take back authority, which can lead to more organized and effective land use management.
