MODERATE

This bill update adds two new legislators as sponsors and tracks the bill's progress through the Housing and Ways and Means committees. It also clarifies the timing for sending renter information about senior and disability exemptions, requiring it to be included at least once every year rather than just once annually. Additionally, it expands the requirement to include this information on electronic rent bills.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding who receives the information remains the same, but the frequency requirement is clarified to be an annual recurring obligation, and the medium of delivery now explicitly includes electronic communications.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement to provide renter exemption information is clarified to occur 'at least once annually,' ensuring it is a recurring annual obligation rather than a one-time event.

The mandate to include exemption information on rent bills now explicitly covers electronic communications, ensuring digital renters receive the same notices as those receiving paper bills.

PROCEDURAL

Two new legislators, Lee and Reyes, are added to the list of bill sponsors.

The bill status is updated to reflect that it was reported to and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means after being discharged from the Housing committee.
