Bill Summary - 25LSO-0161 Bill No.: HB0097 Effective: 7/1/2025 LSO No.: 25LSO-0161 Enrolled Act No.: HEA No. 0032 Chapter No.: 52 Prime Sponsor: Joint Appropriations Committee Catch Title: Property conveyances near critical infrastructure. Has Report: No Subject: Requirements for conveyances near critical infrastructure zones. Summary/Major Elements: Under existing law enacted in the 2024 budget session (2024 House Bill 97), the Director of the Office of Homeland Security must provide each county clerk a current list of zones designated as critical infrastructure zones. The county clerks are then required to report any conveyances that involve property within five (5) miles of a zone to the Director and the Division of Criminal Investigation within fifteen (15) days after the conveyance. Under this act, county clerks are no longer provided a list of critical infrastructure zones. Instead, the county clerks are required to report all recorded conveyances within the county to the Director of the Office of Homeland Security and the Division of Criminal Investigation within fifteen (15) days after the conveyance is recorded. The Director of the Office of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the Division of Criminal Investigation are charged to identify any conveyance located up to five (5) miles from a critical infrastructure zone from the reported conveyances. The act revises and conforms definitions of "conveyance" and creates a definition of "real property" that broadens the type of recorded written instruments reported by county clerks. The act also authorizes the Office of Homeland Security to receive and share criminal identification, intelligence, and criminal history available to law enforcement agencies to carry out the duties of the Office.
