Lawmakers discuss amendments to Moore's housing bill

Maryland Governor Wes Moore's housing bill is under scrutiny as county officials express significant concerns. The "Housing for Jobs Act" aims to expedite housing development but requires major amendments for support. The bill proposes automatic approval for housing projects in areas with a high jobs-to-housing ratio, unless counties can prove negative impacts. However, officials worry about potential legal challenges and school capacity issues. Despite the challenges, lawmakers are still discussing the bill. They acknowledge the need for further communication to address concerns and improve the legislation before moving forward.
