SUMMARY
The bill requires a seller of residential real property to disclose that the property has been used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Current law requires the disclosure of the presence or prior removal of any hazardous materials. This amendment strikes and replaces the text of the bill to include methamphetamine as a specific hazardous material, the presence or prior removal of which must be disclosed by the seller of the residential real property.
