More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to property owner claims for compensation from certain municipalities that fail to enforce certain laws’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill aims to address compensation for property owners in municipalities with populations of 900,000 or more when those municipalities do not enforce certain laws related to public nuisance, including issues like public camping, loitering, and public urination. Property owners can submit claims for compensation to municipalities if there is a discernible policy or practice of not enforcing these laws, or if a public nuisance is maintained. The compensation amount is limited to either the costs incurred to address the nuisance or the decrease in the property's fair market value, capped by the municipal property taxes paid for that year. Municipalities have 30 days to respond to claims, and if rejected, property owners can seek court action. The court can award attorney's fees to successful claimants, but not to municipalities. The bill takes effect Sept. 1, 2025.
