The act updates the state's 1920s planning statutes, defines what should be included in a comprehensive plan, and authorizes the state Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to offer a variety of planning-related technical assistance. The Local Planning Technical Assistance Act is based on a model statute in APA's Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook, which provides options for modernizing state planning and zoning enabling legislation. The link below is to the text of the Local Planning Technical Assistance Act.
