SB 620: Business Damages
Up in Senate on Thursday
Support Amendment
Overview
CS/SB 620 (Hutson) will be considered by the full Senate on Thursday afternoon, January 27. The bill would authorize a business that has been engaged in a lawful business in the state for at least three years to claim business damages from a local government if the government enacts or amends an ordinance or charter provision that will cause a reduction of at least 15% of the business' profit. 
Current Status
An amendment has been filed to CS/SB 620 that, if adopted, would address many of the League’s concerns with the bill. The League supports Amendment (Barcode # 609228) by Senator Hutson.
Next Steps
Please contact your Senator (click here for Senate contact info) and urge him/her to support Senator Hutson's amendment to CS/SB 620. If this amendment is adopted, the League’s position on CS/SB 620 will move from Oppose to Neutral.
