This week the language from the tree ordinance bill – House Bill 496 - has been added to the House budget and is moving forward toward becoming law. The House and Senate still need to agree on a final budget and the Governor would then need to sign it, but we are alarmed by this language becoming part of the budget discussion. Note, the Senate did not include this language in its budget.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 18, 2021, from 11:30-12:30 pm for the sketch crawl in Charlotte.
Stay tuned for more details to come, and make sure to register.
