Senate committee backs bill to remove newspaper notice requirement for self‑storage lien sales
Summary
The Senate Commerce Committee voted to send Senate Bill 1126 to the Senate floor with a due‑pass recommendation after testimony split between newspaper representatives urging continued public notices and storage‑industry witnesses supporting online notices and contract‑based notification.
The Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday voted to send Senate Bill 1126 to the Senate floor with a due‑pass recommendation. The bill would remove the requirement that owners publish notice of storage‑unit lien sales in a newspaper while keeping requirements for certified mail and any notice methods specified in a lease.
Sen. Jim Woodward, R‑District 1, the bill sponsor, said the measure is a narrow change that removes the newspaper‑publication requirement for notices tied to liens on self‑storage units. "We're really just removing the requirement to notify in the newspaper," Woodward said, adding that certified mail and lease‑specified notices would remain in place.
