AN ACT CONCERNING THE RELEASE OF CERTAIN LIENS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
This bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to remove liens from properties within 60 days after they are paid off or otherwise resolved. The law applies specifically to liens where the department is the party claiming the debt, ensuring that property titles are cleared promptly once the financial obligation is satisfied. By adding this new subsection to existing statutes, the legislation aims to prevent liens from lingering on properties longer than necessary after the debt has been settled.
