1433RESOLUTION N0. III 33
A RESOLUTION URGING DEFEAT OF PENDING HOUSE BILL 1726
WHEREAS, The Arkansas Legislature is currently considering
House Bill 1726 -- the so-called "Private Property Protection
Act," and
WHEREAS, said Bill purports to protect private property,
`~. when in fact, adequate, fair and reasonable protection of private
property rights is already provided through the Arkansas State
Constitution, as well as the 5th Amendment to the U. S. Constitu-
tion; and
WHEREAS, the Bill provisions would create a myriad of
litigation against local governments; and
WHEREAS, the Bill constitutes a potentially massive unfunded
state mandate on local governments; and
WHEREAS, implementation of the Bill would effectively com-
promise virtually all current and future local regulatory efforts
to insure orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, passage of House Bill 1726 is not in the best
interest of local government or our citizenry;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS:
That the State Legislature be, and is hereby, advised of the
a opposition of the City of West Memphis to the so-called "Private
Property Protection Act," -- House Bill 1726.
