Plain‑English summary, cross‑checked against the official bill text.

This bill would make landlords register details about older homes with the state, letting people see some of that information to help keep them safe.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

This bill would make landlords register properties built before 1978 with the Department of Health. Some of this information would be public. This could help people know more about the safety of their homes, especially older ones, by making important details easier to find. It could also help the state keep track of potential health issues in older buildings. Landlords would have new paperwork to do and might have to pay fees to register their properties. This bill is still being studied, so now is the time to speak up if you want more information about your home or if you are a landlord concerned about new rules.
