SB3633 Summary

• Amends the Freedom of Information Act to make demolition, repair, enclosure, and remediation records submitted to counties and municipalities public records, while redacting contractors' employees' personal information (addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers).

• Requires counties and municipalities to maintain documentation from contractors for 3 years regarding disposal of demolition debris and soil, including hauler, generator, origin, weight/volume, and facility location information.

• Adds "remediation" authority to both county and municipal demolition statutes (Counties Code Section 5-1121 and Municipal Code Section 11-31-1), allowing removal or remediation of hazardous substances and petroleum products on abandoned properties.

• Establishes that municipalities can obtain liens against properties for costs of inspection, testing, and environmental remediation of hazardous substances on abandoned and unsafe properties, with similar lien enforcement procedures as existing demolition/repair liens.

• Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
