Authored by Rep. David Hall (R- Norman, Dist. 62), HEA 1108 will limit local options for regulating construction on slopes. Construction on slopes can lead to erosion which carries harmful sediment into waterways. Local governments are in the best position to understand the issues with their local terrain, soil types, and waterways, but HEA 1108 will prohibit local regulation if a slope is less than 25%. The bill has an exemption allowing local regulation if the slope leads to a drinking water reservoir.
Final Update (as of 3/11):
HEA 1108 has been signed by Governor Eric Holcomb and has become law.
