SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Defective Chinese drywall; disclosure, assessed value, real estate tax exemption.

If a tenant is not provided disclosure within 60 days of discovery of defective drywall he may terminate the lease. The bill also provides upon confirmation by a building official that defective Chinese drywall is present, that the commissioner or other assessing official may reassess the property accordingly. Local governments may also place the property in a rehabilitation district for purposes of granting the owner a partial real estate tax exemption. This bill is a recommendation of the Housing Commission. This bill is identical to HB 1610.
