12 certification program must include appropriate certification
13 criteria, measurements of livability and sustainability,

15 mechanisms, and state authority to decertify a local
16 government that fails to adhere to the terms of certification.
17 Recommendations shall include proposed legislation that is
18 timely submitted for final action during the 2002 Legislative
19 Session. Such recommendations may also include incentives for
20 enhanced sustainability and livability of local communities.
