AI Summary

This bill aims to protect federal employees in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts during a federal government shutdown. The key provisions of the bill are as follows: Federal employees furloughed due to a lapse in federal appropriations (i.e., a government shutdown) will be exempt from summary process (i.e., eviction) due to non-payment of rent or foreclosure during the shutdown. Additionally, no such summary process action can be brought against these federal employees for at least 6 months after the shutdown ends. This legislation is intended to provide a safeguard for federal workers in the state who may face housing instability due to missed paychecks during a government shutdown.
