TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the real property actions and

mortgagees either to complete a mortgage foreclosure proceeding pursuant

has been certified abandoned pursuant to section 1971 of the real prop-

deal with these properties that depress surrounding property values and
put on a strain on municipal resources are zombie properties. Zombie
