MINOR
This bill amendment increases the daily civil penalty for failing to maintain a foreclosed property from $500 to $650. It also clarifies that these penalties can continue to be applied until the property is transferred to a third party, rather than stopping immediately after the foreclosure judgment.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on municipalities and the Department of Financial Services enforcing maintenance duties on foreclosed properties, but the financial deterrent for non-compliance has been strengthened.
REQUIREMENT

The maximum daily civil penalty for violating maintenance duties was increased from $500 to $650.

ENFORCEMENT

Penalties may now be applied until the property is transferred to a third party, extending the duration of enforcement beyond the initial foreclosure judgment.
