Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

Summary

Provides that the contractor who performed the construction work which results in an illegal conversion of a housing unit shall be held liable for monetary penalties related to such illegal conversion, rather than the residents; provides that the owner of the building shall be held liable if such person knew or should reasonably have known that the construction was being done without prior approval by the department of buildings and without the required permits.
