Lesniak Announces Hearing Date for COAH Reform Legislation

Senator Raymond J. Lesniak announced that on Monday, February 1, the Senate Economic Growth Committee, which he chairs, will begin hearing testimony on his Bill S-1, co-sponsored by Senator Bateman. S-1 would abolish the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) and establish a streamlined and simple process to comply with NJ Supreme Court mandates that require every municipality maintain a fair share of low- and moderate-income housing.
