House Local Government Committee

Committees hold public hearings on bills, take votes in executive sessions, and study issues in work sessions. Learn about the Local Government Committee, its membership and meetings, and how to participate.

    The House Local Government Committee considers a broad array of issues relating to local government entities, including growth management; land use, zoning, and permitting; building and energy codes; health codes; the structure, governance, and operations of counties, cities, and special purpose districts; local government procurement standards; and local government open meeting and public records obligations.
