[Durham INC] The legislature is coming after our trees

[Pat Carstensen]

It's not clear this bill will go anywhere, but even proposing it is appalling.



S 367 Clarify Property Owners’ Rights<https://www.ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2019/S367>, sponsored by Senators Tom McInnis<https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/S/389> (R - Anson Moore, Richmond, Scotland), Joyce Krawiec<https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/S/384> (R - Davie, Forsyth), and Brent Jackson<https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/S/281> (R - Duplin, Johnston, Sampson), would disallow counties and cities from regulating the removal of trees from private property without the express approval by the NC General Assembly. This would limit local government ordinances meant to protect trees and ensure a livable and healthy urban environment. This bill was assigned to the Senate Rules Committee which does not yet have a meeting scheduled.
