An Act to establish a commission to review equitable city planning and development

This bill establishes a Commission on Equitable City Planning and Development within the state department. It requires large municipalities (over 100,000 residents) to have their planning agencies periodically assess fair housing access and anti-displacement efforts, then create improvement plans based on those assessments. The commission, composed of department and anti-discrimination agency leaders plus a tenant advocate, oversees this process and can issue necessary rules. The law directly affects city planning departments in major municipalities, mandating concrete steps to address housing discrimination and displacement. It focuses on requiring local assessments and action plans, not on specific housing outcomes.
