AN ACT concerning
Real Property - Abatement of Nuisance - Controlled Dangerous Substances
FOR the purpose of clarifying that under provisions of law that relate to nuisance
abatement, an "owner" includes an owner-occupant and a "tenant" does not

nuisance abatement action to post a certain notice in a conspicuous place on the
property on which the nuisance is located within a certain amount of time before
the hearing; authorizing the court, after a hearing, to order a tenant who knew
or should have known of the existence of certain nuisances to vacate the
property within a certain amount of time; clarifying that in certain nuisance
abatement actions the court may, after a hearing, grant a judgment of
restitution or the possession of rental property to the property owner if certain
conditions are met; clarifying that a court may order an owner of certain
property to submit for court approval a certain plan of correction in addition to
or as part of any injunction, restraining order, or other relief ordered by the
court; authorizing the court to impose certain additional sanctions if an owner
fails to comply with an order to abate a nuisance; authorizing the court to award
court costs and reasonable attorney's fees to a prevailing plaintiff in certain
nuisance abatement actions; requiring that certain requests for oral arguments
be filed within a certain amount of time; requiring that certain oral arguments
be heard within a certain amount of time; providing that certain provisions of
law are not applicable to certain nuisance abatement actions; repealing certain
expedited notice and appeal requirements; and generally relating to the
