The proposed Neighborhood Revitalization Act seeks to enhance property maintenance and address public nuisances in Nebraska by defining key terms such as "abatement," "public nuisance," and "receiver." It establishes the responsibilities of property owners to uphold community standards for their residential rental and residential properties, allowing affected owners to pursue damages against those who neglect their properties. The Act also permits nonprofit corporations and municipal authorities to file petitions against properties identified as public nuisances, detailing the court process for compliance orders and the appointment of receivers for non-compliant properties.

The bill further amends the Neighborhood Revitalization Act to clarify the roles and liabilities of receivers, stating that they are not personally liable for actions taken during their receivership, barring cases of misconduct. It outlines requirements for public nuisance abatement plans, including budgets and timelines, and grants courts the authority to enable receivers to manage properties and settle debts. Additionally, the bill sets procedures for auctioning properties if a receiver's lien is not satisfied, establishes minimum bid requirements, and affirms the court's ongoing jurisdiction over public nuisance issues. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2026.
