Proposed state bill aims to inform buyers about risks on properties near Superfund sites

Maryland state lawmakers are proposing a new bill requiring sellers to notify potential homeowners of any Superfund site near a residential property and the associated risks. The bill, which state Sen. Karen Lewis Young and Del. Kris Fair plan to file, would require that addendum for all sales contracts on residential properties within 0.5 miles of a Superfund site across the state.
