Bill > SB00274

This bill requires nonresident owners of rental properties and project-based housing providers (entities that contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide housing through the Housing Choice Voucher Program) to register their current residential address and identifying information, which includes name, date of birth, and driver's license number, with the local tax assessor, especially in municipalities with 25,000 or more residents; this aims to ensure that landlords can be properly notified of any orders or violations related to their properties. Additionally, the bill significantly increases the fines for repeat violations of building and fire codes, making subsequent offenses more costly than initial ones, and establishes a new penalty structure for failing to comply with building inspector orders.
