COMMITTEE ACTION:

SF 93 – Abandoned structures and nuisance properties

SF 93 makes changes to the abandoned structures and abatement law. The bill removes the length of time needed to consider a structure abandoned along with evidence of financial responsibility if the property is in need of abatement. A hearing is eliminated if those interested show intent and responsibility to restore the property in good faith. The bill’s intent is to motivate current owners to restore nuisance properties with local option.

SF 283, as amended in committee, raises the threshold to $6,000 for conflicts of interest for school board members, county board members and county employees when they enter into a contract with the specific entity.
