Liberty CharterOn Monday, March 5, the Senate Rules Committee considered and rejected SB 1064 (municipalities; local liberty charter). The bill, authored by the Goldwater Institute, purports to authorize municipalities and "unincorporated areas of a county" to adopt the provisions of a "Liberty Charter," the detailed provisions of which are included in the bill. The model charter imposes restrictive limitations on municipal authority with respect to procurement, eminent domain, personnel management, impact fees, land use regulation and a host of other powers.The League opposes the bill on the basis of its procedural and constitutional infirmities. The Rules Committee, charged with the constitutionality and form of legislation, determined that the measure fails constitutional muster, effectively ending its journey through the legislative process this year. |
