S 470 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Respect State Housing Laws Act
To amend the CARES Act to remove a requirement on lessors to provide notice to vacate, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the CARES Act to remove a federal requirement that landlords provide notice before evicting tenants. The change would allow individual states to set their own tenant notice requirements without the federal restriction. The bill strikes the relevant provision of the CARES Act that had imposed this notice requirement during the pandemic.
