Under current law, unlike owners of residential property, owners of
nonresidential property are not required to provide to prospective buyers any report
on the condition of the property. The bill provides, however, that an owner of
nonresidential property may provide to a prospective buyer, before the prospective
buyer submits to the owner a contract of sale or option contract, a notice that advises
the prospective buyer, along with the address, telephone number and Internet
address of DOC, that anyone may obtain information from DOC about persons
required to register with the sex offender registry and that the prospective buyer
may wish to obtain information about any person registered with the sex offender
registry who resides in the neighborhood or community in which the property is
located. If the owner provides the notice to a prospective buyer, the owner is absolved
from any duty to disclose to the prospective buyer any information about the sex
offender registry or any information related to the fact that any particular person is
required to register with the sex offender registry. In addition, after the sale of the
property, the owner is not liable to the buyer or any person on the property with the
permission of the buyer for damages resulting from the actions of a person required
to register with the sex offender registry.

The bill also provides that a landlord may provide to a prospective tenant,
before the tenant enters into a lease, a notice that advises the prospective tenant,
along with the address, telephone number and Internet address of DOC, that anyone
may obtain information from DOC about persons required to register with the sex
offender registry and that the prospective tenant may wish to obtain information
about any person registered with the sex offender registry who resides in the
neighborhood or community in which the property is located. If the landlord provides
the notice to a prospective tenant, the landlord is absolved from any duty to disclose
to the prospective tenant, before or after entering into a lease, any information about
the sex offender registry or any information related to the fact that any particular
person is required to register with the sex offender registry. In addition, if the tenant
enters into a lease, the owner is not liable to the tenant, a guest of the tenant or any
other occupant of the rented property for damages resulting from the actions of a
person required to register with the sex offender registry.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
