Cleanup relief and notices for Army properties

The law covers nonresidential property in Johnson County formerly owned by the Army, where it applied legally registered pesticides at or near structures before 2005. State agencies and their subdivisions cannot impose related cleanup orders, investigation or cleanup costs, rules, restrictions, or permit delays on owners or others holding property interests. This protection applies retroactively, but owners remain responsible under law when property becomes residential or is built as a day care facility. Sellers must include a deed notice warning that pesticides may be present and residential use may require cleanup. The notice must stay in later deeds until testing confirms residential-safe levels or cleanup reaches those levels.
