The bill proposes to repeal and replace section 89.060 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which pertains to zoning regulations. The new section allows for amendments, changes, or repeals of zoning regulations, but stipulates that if there is a protest signed by owners of thirty percent or more of the affected land, the amendment will only take effect with a two-thirds majority vote from the municipality's legislative body. Additionally, it emphasizes that the provisions regarding public hearings and official notices will apply to all changes or amendments. Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that prohibit any city charter, order, or ordinance from allowing residents to challenge or repeal changes to zoning regulations through referendums or initiatives. It specifically states that no city can enact laws that permit challenges to proposed changes, except as outlined in the new section. This restriction applies only to home rule cities located in counties with populations between 260,000 and 300,000 inhabitants.
