    Amends GS 160A-200.1. Allows for cities to take remedial action upon a "chronic violator" of the city's nuisance ordinance without a second or additional notice provided on a rolling 12-month basis (was, in the calendar year in which notice is given). Defines a "chronic violator" as a person who owns property, and, on a rolling 12-month basis (was, in the previous calendar year), was given notice of violation at least three times. 

    Appropriates $25,000 in nonrecurring funds from the General Fund to the League of Municipalities for fiscal year 2023-24 to educate cities on this authority.
