Modifies provisions relating to nuisance actions

Summary

The bill repeals the old Section 82.1025 and creates a new version that lets nearby property owners and neighborhood groups sue for nuisance abatement faster and with fewer hurdles. It also imposes a $2,000 civil penalty on any non‑resident owner whose property violates a code, and allows the property to be sold if not fixed within a year. The measure targets the City of Independence and similar sized Missouri cities.
