Summary

A committee amendment to PSHB 2414 (H COMM AMD), offered by the Committee on Innovation, Technology & Economic Development and listing Representative Smith.

A parallel insertion applies the same limit to planning grants under the section. The effect statement describes the amendment as barring a preference for urban areas over rural areas in awarding these grants.
