SB 916: Civil actions: housing development projects.

<p>The bill aims to amend the code of civil procedure to provide relief to defendants in civil actions challenging housing development projects. In such cases, the court may require the plaintiff to furnish an undertaking as security for costs and damages that may be incurred by the defendant if the action would prevent or delay the project. The undertaking can be limited or declined if it would cause the plaintiff undue economic hardship. The bill extends these provisions to student housing development projects.</p>
