Legislation (A.B. 363) amended by the SEMA Action Network (SAN) was passed by the Assembly and sent to the Senate for consideration. Under existing law, counties and cities may remove a public nuisance at the property owner’s expense if, after notice, the property owner does not remove the nuisance. Under the SAN-drafted amendment, abandoned, inoperable or junk vehicles stored on private property would only require screening from public view. Unregistered vehicles could not be declared a nuisance under the SAN amendment. After passing the Assembly, the bill has been moved to the Senate and referred to the Government Affairs Committee for consideration.
