Planning & Zoning January 22
Public hearings were set regarding a proposed medical marijuana dispensary and a coffee shop, both in Florence, a hotel on the Frogtown Connector, and changes to use on Mineola Park, among others. Action on the contentious proposal for Conrad Lane at Carry Back Drive continues to be deferred.
Licensing, Occupations, & Administrative Regulations Committee
Rep. Marianne Proctor, District 60
Lawmakers passed almost 200 bills during the legislative session that adjourned on March 30, and one of our busiest committees this year was the one tasked with overseeing the state’s professional, racing, and alcoholic beverage licensure. The House Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations Committee approved 13 bills that eventually became law.
