  • S-3045Strike everything · filed March 24, 2025 by Sen. Scott Webster (R)
    AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill. It changes the rules to allow rental agreements to be oral instead of just written, and it specifies that if you don't sign a written agreement within thirty days, you are considered to have accepted its terms. It also allows operators to send notices via email if both parties agree and gives them the right to limit access to the facility to office hours during a fifteen-day notice period. Its wording →
