HB 2725

This bill strengthens property disclosure requirements for radioactive or hazardous material contamination by expanding what constitutes "knowledge" of contamination from requiring an affirmative report to including any written or electronic communication from a government agency. The bill adds new requirements that property owners must disclose when government agencies request testing for contamination, and mandates that government agencies notify current residents within 30 days when contamination is discovered on residential property. Failure to disclose known contamination remains a class A misdemeanor, and the bill maintains tenants' rights to terminate leases without cost if landlords fail to disclose known contamination.
