Here is CLPA’s weekly list of upcoming meetings.
The DC Council is back in full swing this week. There will be a legislative meeting this Tuesday that will see the final reading on a number of important bills touch on topics such as paid leave and Strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP) laws. There will be a Legislative Media Briefing on some of the bills to be heard in Tuesday's legislative meeting today at 10:30 am.
In Maryland, there will be considerable activity in Prince George's County, where the County Council will discuss CB-092-2022, which we analyzed in a post last week. This bill would revise the application review procedures for zoning applications decided by the District Council. It will effectively eliminate all District Council elections to review development review cases under the Zoning Ordinance. It should be noted that CB-091-2022, which would have required the District Council to have a supermajority vote (2/3rd of the Council Members present) to adopt text amendments to local zoning laws and could have made passing zoning laws in the County more difficult, was tabled indefinitely.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in Virginia, through its Legislative Committee, is starting to discuss policy for the upcoming session of the Virginia General Assembly. They will review their Preliminary Draft Fairfax County Legislative Program for 2023. This will be the first of six meetings the Committee will host to develop County policy to present to the State. The sixth meeting on December 13th will include members of the Fairfax County Delegation.
