Summary

The bill lets defendants in challenges to qualifying housing or student housing projects ask a court to make the plaintiff post a security bond. The bond is capped at $500,000, can be reduced or waived if it would cause undue hardship, and developers may be liable if they later alter the project in bad faith.
