What changed in the latest version
24 added · 29 removedPlain-language change summary
The revised version of HB 2719 includes new provisions that clarify the process for removing illegal dumping and the associated costs. Notably, it establishes that a property owner must be given at least thirty days to clear debris before the county can step in to handle the removal, at the owner's expense. This matters because it ensures property owners have a fair opportunity to rectify the situation before facing potential penalties, while also allowing local authorities to maintain public health and safety effectively.
