Two more bills targeting urban renewal authority clear committee

Now the House Local Government Committee has passed the final two bills on its agenda as well, HB 114, from Rep. Kathy Sims, requiring countywide elections for city urban renewal boards; and HB 110 from Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, imposing additional public hearing requirements for urban renewal projects. Both will go to the full House with a recommendation that they pass, though on HB  114, a motion to send the bill to the amending order instead was narrowly defeated. All in all, this afternoon's hearing in the rarely convened House committee last four and a half hours.
