Summary
The bill allows municipal governments to enter privately owned residential units without the occupant’s permission when an administrative warrant is issued or when there is probable cause of an immediate health or safety threat. It also authorizes cities to correct interior code violations and to recover the expense from property owners, or to delegate that authority to the county. The measure aims to address public‑health nuisances while limiting routine interior inspections unless the occupant agrees, a warrant is obtained, or danger is evident.
