The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the sale of real property tax liens and the priority of certain assessments. Under current law, the sale of a real property tax lien does not extinguish any lien for an assessment levied pursuant to specific titles and sections, including section 9-276. The bill would expand this provision to include assessments levied under section 11-268, thereby ensuring that liens for the removal of rubbish, filth, debris, or dilapidated buildings remain intact even after a tax lien sale or foreclosure.

Additionally, the bill introduces a temporary provision that specifies this protection will remain in effect until October 1, 2028, after which the existing language regarding the non-extinguishment of such liens will be repealed. The bill also makes technical and conforming changes to the statutes, ensuring clarity and consistency in the law. Overall, the updates aim to enhance the enforcement of public health and safety measures related to property maintenance while providing a clear timeline for the eventual repeal of these protections.
