BALLOT QUESTION 1 |
LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION

BALLOT QUESTION 2 |
LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
This proposed law would repeal an existing state law that allows a qualified organization wishing to build government-subsidized housing that includes low-or moderate-income units to apply for a single comprehensive permit from a city or town's zoning board of apppeals (ZBA), instead of separate permits from each local agency or official having jurisdiction over any aspect of the proposed housing. The repeal would take effect on January 1, 2011, but would not stop or otherwise affect any proposed housing that had already received both a comprehensive permit and a building permit for at least one unit. |

LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
