An Act relative to landlords accountability with regard to drug houses

This bill proposes new penalties for landlords who knowingly rent out properties used for illegal drug activities. It applies to private residential owners but explicitly excludes housing authorities from these restrictions. Landlords found guilty of this violation could face civil fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per offense and potential loss of their property. Any fines collected would be directed to law enforcement agencies to fund drug awareness education and substance abuse counseling programs.
