This proposed Constitutional amendment prohibits any State law, local order or ordinance, or rule or regulation from:
(1) Requiring an individual or entity to repair or improve real property owned by the individual or entity with specific materials if a more cost-effective material option exists, it would not noticeably affect the appearance of the property, and the repair puts the property in better condition than it would be in without the repair; or
(2) Preventing an individual or entity from making an improvement or repair to real property owned by the individual or entity, except as provided below.
The proposed Constitutional amendment prohibits any State law, local order or ordinance, or rule or regulation from preventing an individual or entity from making an improvement or repair unless a political subdivision with jurisdiction over the property makes a reasonable determination that the specific improvement or repair will negatively affect the value or enjoyment of an adjacent parcel of property.
