Targeted Changes with Statewide Impact
| H5288 | Individuals who volunteer in schools can run a preemptive police background check run on themselves. |
| H5290 | A renter who intends to grow medical marijuana on rental property must inform the landlord of that fact, and the landlord may refuse to rent to that person on this grounds, if he or she so chooses. |
| H5294 | “The various local police departments of the state may offer to perform, free of charge, a state criminal records background check for any person seeking to work with children in a civic, religious or youth organization; provided said person submits a records release authorization.” |
| H5309 | The official description says: “This act would clarify that conservation easements are not terminated if a property is merged or sold at a tax sale”. The bill does this by adding a “such as but not limited to” clause to some very technical legal language. |
