Summary

Damages, attorney fees, and costs for unconstitutional grant or denial by locality of certain permits and approvals. Provides that an applicant aggrieved by the grant or denial by a locality of any approval or permit, where such grant included, or denial was based upon an unconstitutional condition, shall be entitled to an award of compensatory damages and may be awarded reasonable attorney fees and costs. Provides that an applicant aggrieved by the grant or denial by a locality of any approval or permit, where such grant included, or denial was based upon, an unconstitutional condition, shall be entitled to an award of compensatory damages and may be awarded reasonable attorney fees and costs. The bill also creates a presumption that a condition proven to be unconstitutional was a factor in the grant or denial of the permit, and it provides that the applicant shall be entitled to an order remanding the matter to the locality with a direction to grant or issue such permits or approvals without the unconstitutional condition. Any action brought pursuant to this bill shall be filed within the applicable time period, as set forth in the Code, after the grant or denial of the application, and the provisions of this bill shall only apply to approvals or permits that are granted or denied on or after July 1, 2014.
