The House Political Subdivisions Committee met today to discuss HB 2356.
House Bill 2356 would make it so that if a municipal planning commission proposed to demolish or construct projects within a historic district designated by listing on the National Register of Historic Places, it must secure the approval of the historic landmark commission, if one exists.
The bill was amended by Delegate Blair (R-Berkeley) so that if there are city or county historical landmark commissions, then one must get their approval as well before any work can be done on the site.
The bill was referred to the committee on Government Organization with a recommendation that it pass.
