This bill amends Section 22-112.4 of Title 11 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the powers of municipalities regarding the abatement of abandoned buildings. It modifies the definition of an "abandoned building" to include structures that are unoccupied and have been declared unsecured or dilapidated. The bill allows municipalities to declare buildings as unoccupied if they have remained unoccupied for 365 days or more, causing increased municipal costs and devaluing nearby properties. It establishes procedures for notifying property owners and mortgage holders, holding hearings, and taking abatement actions, including the ability to assess costs against the property and file liens for unpaid abatement costs.

Additionally, the bill provides for the delegation of duties to an administrative officer or body within the municipality and outlines the rights of property owners to appeal decisions made by such entities. It also clarifies that municipal officers and agents are not liable for damages resulting from the abatement process. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
