Introduced by Rep. Robert Jones (D) on February 17, 2009, to increase the penalties for violating the law that prohibits owners of buildings deemed to be “historic” from undertaking exterior renovations on their property without permission from a local authority. The bill increases civil fines for unauthorized work from $5,000 to $50,000, and for unauthorized demolition to $150,000. It also increases criminal penalties, and revises a number of other provisions to generally give greater powers to the boards from whom property owners must ask for permission.
- Referred to the House Intergovernmental, Urban And Regional Affairs Committee on February 17, 2009.

Another anti economic growth bill. If local authorities want to preserve a "historic" building they should raise the capital to buy it (not my tax dollars, thank you) and fix it up themselves.
