Rhode Island S2912 amends the definition of abandoned property to require notification of the building owner and failure to address violations. It adds criteria for when properties are considered abandoned or public nuisances. The bill mandates municipalities to publish lists of potentially abandoned properties and requires hearings before appointing a receiver. It also defines "eligible nonprofit corporation" and outlines procedures for the sale of buildings and properties by receivers. The act takes effect upon passage.
