Title An Act amending the registration provisions of vacant or unoccupied residential structures with the Department of Environmental Resources by authorizing information sharing with Prince George’s County municipalities. Background The County Council adopted CR-11-2009 to require the notification to the Director of the Department of Environmental Resources by those persons authorized to make the sale of a foreclosed residential property in Prince George’s County within five (5) days. CR-11-2009 made this information confidential financial information not subject to disclosure under the Maryland Public Information Act. The bill amends this provision to allow for sharing of this information with municipalities in Prince George’s County, by a Memorandum of Understanding, that have enacted similar notification provisions.
