A bill for an act relating to the responsibility and liability of property owners for public places in cities and including effective date provisions.

Summary

The bill lets a city ordinance mandate that owners whose land borders a public street keep the area between their property line and the curb in good condition, except they don’t have to remove dead trees on public land. If an owner is required to do this and fails to use reasonable care, they can be sued for damages. It aims to improve sidewalk safety and clarify owners’ responsibilities.
