Digest
HB 5514 prohibits municipalities and counties from allowing multifamily housing developments in areas predominantly zoned for single-family residences. If a local government violates this rule, affected parties may sue for economic damages or injunctive relief, and courts can award treble damages to the prevailing party. The bill also waives governmental immunity for municipalities or counties that violate the law.
