HCS SB 1114 -- REMOVAL OF NUISANCES

SPONSOR:  Loudon (St. Onge)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Local Government by a vote of 16 to 0.

This substitute extends from August 28, 2004, to August 28, 2005,
the termination date of Section 82.291, RSMo, regarding removal
of nuisances.  The substitute enables Cole and Boone counties to
enact ordinances to provide for the abatement of a situation on
any lot or land which may endanger public health or safety and is
declared to be a public nuisance, including noxious weeds, in
residential subdivisions.  The substitute adds noxious weeds to
the current specified nuisances which Jefferson County is allowed
to abate by ordinances.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that cities and counties need the
ability to abate nuisances.

Testifying for the bill was Senator Loudon.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
