What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a residential property located in a first class or second class city is alleged to be a nuisance, the city may apply to the circuit court for the appointment of a receiver to remove, suspend, or correct the nuisance. Currently, a receiver appointed by the court may take possession of the property, charge and collect rents, negotiate contracts regarding the property, pay property taxes, and abate the nuisance.
This bill allows all cities, villages, and towns, not just first class and second class cities, to apply to the circuit court for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the property and have all of the powers currently available to first class and second class cities.
