Home-Based Businesses (Oppose – Preemption)

SB 266 (Perry) preempts local governments from licensing and regulating home-based businesses. Local governments would be prohibited from enacting or enforcing any ordinance, regulation or policy regarding home-based businesses as defined in the bill. The legislation requires that a home-based business could not substantially increase traffic, noise, waste or recycling. The bill allows a party to challenge any local government action that violates the preemption. If challenged, the prevailing party is entitled to recover attorneys fees and costs. (Cruz)
