Homeowners would have to be notified of foreclosure sales of their property under a bill passed Thursday by the Senate.

Senate Bill 333 closes a loophole in the law, said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Jesse Stone, R-Waynesboro. While homeowners assume it is customary to be notified, the law does not require it. "This will prevent surprise for property owners," Stone said.

SB 333 passed unanimously. It now goes to the House for consideration.
