SB 1344: Civil actions: housing development projects.
The bill aims to amend certain provisions related to civil actions, particularly those involving housing development projects. It increases the liability limit for a plaintiff who must furnish an undertaking as security for costs and damages in a civil action challenging a housing project to $1,000,000. The bill also applies these provisions to priority care developments that provide supportive housing or other housing assistance in connection with behavioral health services and other specified purposes. Additionally, it allows defendants in these actions to bring a special motion to strike the plaintiff's pleading if they believe the action would prevent or delay the development project.
