Enact the Gus Frangos Act

County boards of revision can now hear and adjudicate foreclosure proceedings on abandoned land without requiring judicial court involvement, making the process faster and less costly.

Definitions of 'abandoned land' and 'unoccupied' were updated to include clearer criteria such as lack of utility connections, boarded-up structures, and visible signs of vacancy.

The alternative redemption period for tax foreclosures was standardized to 28 days after foreclosure journalization, providing clearer timelines for property owners to redeem their property.

New requirements were added for notice and service procedures in abandoned land foreclosure cases, including options for web-based publication and specific timelines for responding to foreclosure complaints.

Modified provisions regarding which parties can request transfer of foreclosure cases to courts, including record owners, prosecuting attorneys, and lienholders.

Formatting and structural changes were made to the bill text, including reorganization of sections and correction of line breaks and spacing issues.
