MODERATE

The bill was amended by the Policy Committee to replace the entire original text with a revised version. The most significant substantive change is the removal of Section 2's penalty provision that required landlords to cover tenant medical bills related to mold allergies, replacing it with only a $1,000 fine payable to tenants. The bill's scope remains focused on landlord-tenant mold disclosure and repair requirements, but enforcement mechanisms were weakened by eliminating the medical cost coverage requirement.

Scope change

No change in the bill's overall scope or applicability; it still applies to landlord-tenant relationships regarding mold issues.

ENFORCEMENT

Deleted requirement for landlords to cover tenant medical bills arising from mold allergies or conditions exacerbated by mold exposure.

Modified penalty structure to retain only a $1,000 fine payable to affected tenants, removing the medical cost coverage component.

TECHNICAL

Changed document title from 'As Introduced' to 'Proposed Policy Committee Substitute' and updated request number from 10333 to 12313.

Minor text corrections including changing 'repair' to 'repairs' and adjusting punctuation in disclosure requirements.
