Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This bill requires cities to give a “victim of graffiti”-- a person whose property is defaced by graffiti and bears the cost to remove it-- written notice that allows the property owner one week to remove the graffiti. The written notice must also provide a list of resources that can assist the property owner in the graffiti removal. If a property owner can demonstrate a significant hardship to remove the graffiti, the city, or a third party hired by the city, may remove the graffiti and seek reimbursement from the person who damaged the property. |
