HB569
Regards abandoned manufactured homes
Summary
The bill amends various sections of the Ohio Revised Code related to abandoned manufactured homes, establishing procedures for the removal, sale, or destruction of such homes after eviction. It outlines the responsibilities of county auditors and park operators regarding notifications, valuations, and the handling of abandoned properties, including timelines for actions and penalties for non-compliance.
Rationale
The bill imposes regulations on property owners and government officials regarding abandoned manufactured homes, which may conflict with LP principles of minimal government intervention and property rights. However, it does provide a framework for property management that may align with LPO's focus on local governance and property rights, leading to a mixed alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over property management
- Potential for abuse in enforcement of eviction and property removal processes
- Lack of protections for property owners against arbitrary government actions
