Issue:

The issue presented is whether the Metropolitan Mobility Authority (“MMA”) in SB 3937 impacts the ability of local municipalities to enforce their zoning and land use laws (Collectively “zoning laws”) against property owned or “taken” by eminent domain (a/k/a condemnation) proceedings (and thus subsequently owned) by the proposed authority.
