Introduced by Rep. Steve Tobocman (D) on September 21, 2005, to give local governments the power to impose a new zoning classification on property that does not conform to the classification after a period of “amortization,” which is not defined in this statute. This statute gives local governments the power to order a nonconforming structure or use to be removed, and to use the power of eminent domain to take nonconforming property.
- Referred to the House Local Government and Urban Policy Committee on September 21, 2005.

What the hell is amortization in this statute? I understand the accounting term, but it makes no sense here.

We do not want local governments to be able to seize private property, except in the most extreme circumstances.
