MO SB391

Allows counties, municipalities, local housing corporations, and neighborhood associations to petition for court-appointed receivers to abate code violations on both occupied and vacant residential properties that threaten public health, safety, or welfare

Grants receivers authority to sell properties through public auction or private sale with court approval, with proceeds distributed in priority order: receiver certificates, receivership costs, delinquent taxes, pre-receivership lienholders, then the property owner

Reduces the abandonment timeline from two years to one year, after which courts may declare the property abandoned and transfer title to the receiver or a nonprofit corporation via quit claim judicial deed

Eliminates the bond requirement for court-appointed receivers and requires receivers to file quarterly reports detailing all expenditures and income from the property

Expands the definition of "neighborhood association" by removing the requirement that it be the sole recognized association for a geographic area and removing the "sole purpose" limitation on its organizational mission
