Bill > HB693

This bill, the Adjacent Neighbors' Bill of Rights Act, establishes the Adjacent Neighbors' Bill of Rights to inform homeowners adjacent to a property under development or construction of their rights and available resources. The bill requires the Department of Labor and Industry to compile a pamphlet with information on homeowners' rights, guidelines for seeking legal and engineering representation, advisories on developer responsibilities and homeowner rights regarding property access, party wall agreements, and protections against damages. The bill also mandates that developers mail the pamphlet to adjacent homeowners when applying for permits and that the department provide copies to elected officials and community organizations.
