What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Generally under current law, a city, village, town, or county (political subdivision) may designate and regulate historic properties to preserve their significant characteristics. Cities may also exercise such authority with regard to archaeological landmarks and, in some cases, a city is required to exercise such regulatory authority.
Under this bill, with regard to properties owned by a certain county, a 2nd class city may not designate or regulate such historic, or archaeological, properties or districts. The bill only applies to a 2nd class city that is located in a county with a population greater than 380,000, which is also adjacent to a county with a population greater than 800,000. If such a city has in effect on the effective date of the bill an ordinance or regulation that regulates such county-owned historic, or archaeological, properties or districts, the ordinance does not apply and may not be enforced.
