S.F. No. 3048 Summary

• Creates municipal rental license procedures allowing interested parties, including care facilities and regulatory agencies, to challenge licensing agency actions in district court within 30 days, with filing fees based on conciliation court rates and a simplified affidavit form required.

• Establishes notice requirements for licensing agencies to inform applicants, licensees, and interested parties of rental license actions by first class mail, and requires care facilities to notify other interested parties within seven days.

• Requires courts to reverse or modify licensing actions if applicants/licensees comply with law or agencies violate law; courts may affirm actions or order corrective measures if applicants/licensees are non-compliant and retain jurisdiction to monitor compliance.

• Mandates that landlords provide 30-day written notice to care facilities, ombudsman offices, and state regulatory agencies before eviction or lease termination, including reasons and an attached copy of the intended notice.

• Prohibits landlords from evicting or terminating a care facility lease until the state regulatory agency approves a closure plan and provides notice to the landlord; non-compliance constitutes an affirmative defense in eviction actions.
