Laurelon Residents Seek to Stop HB3071 in the State Senate

[Update: See the next post for an update on Laurelon & HB3071]

HB3071 will now go to a State Senate committee, very likely the Consumer Protection and Housing Committee. Lois Jones, Laurelon resident, writes:

"These last few months have been incredibly frustrating and stressful. I can't believe how depressed this whole process has made me and other Laurelon residents who want desperately to stay in our beloved homes and neighborhood."

What's next? Further info will be posted on the bill’s website soon. The committee's next two meetings are Feb 21 and Feb 22. HB 3071 is not currently listed on the agenda for either of those days, but committee agendas are constantly changing. The next cutoff date is Feb 29. By that date, the Senate must have considered the bill. March 7 is the last day for the Senate to take action on the bill.
