HB 2093: Public facilities mitigation

Concerning the mitigation of public facilities in certain cities.

Summary

  • Requires a city with a population greater than 550,000 that permits, constructs, or operates a public facility in a neighborhood with a high poverty level or high rate of ethnic diversity to assume the responsibility for negative impacts that the public facility has had, or may have, on the surrounding neighborhood.
  • Requires a qualifying city to develop a mitigation plan and consider the potential or actual disparate racial, social, and economic impacts of the public facility on nearby residents.
  • Authorizes a qualifying city to negotiate with other local jurisdictions who have a direct interest in having created the negative impacts, but the residents must be held harmless.
