Summary
The bill gives people who don’t own the land but live or own property near a proposed zoning change the right to challenge the decision in court, provided they can prove a clear, immediate financial interest and a particularized injury. It does not affect owners of the land being regulated, who already have standing. This change aims to broaden who can contest local land‑use actions.
