South Bend Rental Safety Verification Program (RSVP)

I've done some reading and seen things like

"Common council unanimously passes rental safety verification program"
https://www.abc57.com/news/com...

But I've also seen
"New Indiana law strips cities of power to regulate rental properties"
https://wsbt.com/news/local/ne...

What is exactly is the current situation? Is the city doing one area at a time and making sure everything is up to code proactively? If you were buying a property in South Bend, presumably it could be subject to this, so might this be a contingency in a purchase contract to make sure it was already going to pass (or some concession was made to offset the cost of remediation)?

How do you folks navigate this area?
