AI Summary
This bill expedites the wrongful detainer proceedings for real property that is advertised or listed for sale or lease at the time the complaint is filed. It requires the District Court to immediately summon the person in possession, issue a ruling within 2 days, and if the complainant prevails, issue a warrant to the sheriff within 24 hours to execute the order. The bill also sets expedited timelines for any appeals to the circuit court. The changes aim to provide a faster resolution when property owners are seeking to regain possession of real estate they are actively trying to sell or lease.
