Modifies provisions relating to a premises contaminated with radioactive material or other hazardous material
HB 3071 requires property owners, sellers, landlords, or transferors to disclose in writing if a property was previously contaminated with radioactive or hazardous material, but only if they have official knowledge from a government agency. This affects anyone buying, leasing, or transferring property, with failure to disclose constituting a class A misdemeanor. The bill also mandates that owners must inform tenants if a government agency requests testing for contamination and requires state agencies to notify residents of contamination at residential properties within 30 days. Key provisions focus on written disclosure obligations, penalties for non-disclosure, and tenant rights to terminate leases without cost if contamination was knowingly hidden. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (introduced January 2026).
