What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a political subdivision may regulate places, structures, or

objects with special character, historic interest, aesthetic interest, or other

significant value. A political subdivision may also designate historic landmarks and

establish historic districts and may regulate the historic landmarks or the properties

within a historic district for historic preservation purposes.

Under this bill, a political subdivision may not designate a property as a historic

landmark without the consent of the owner. Also under this bill, a political

subdivision may not establish a historic district unless the political subdivision

receives the consent of the owners of one-half of the land in area within the proposed

district or the owners of one-half of the real property in assessed value within the

proposed district.
