State Legislature Bills

Establishes a competitive, annually funded grant program for flood mitigation and infrastructure upgrades, prioritizing documented risk, public safety, community need, and transparent project selection.

This bill speeds up state review for mixed-income housing near jobs, transit, and existing utilities, while creating a state matching fund to help local governments pay for needed infrastructure. Projects must still follow environmental, safety, and local land-use rules, with priority for workforce and starter homes for low- and moderate-income households.

This bill creates a fast-track state permitting process for workforce and starter-home housing, plus targeted infrastructure grants and limited tax incentives for mixed-income projects near job centers and transit. In return, projects must meet local code, follow transparent affordability standards, and report annually on units built, approval speed, and where development occurs.
