Bill Summary

CONCERNING PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS IN EVICTIONS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, PROHIBITING CERTAIN FEES FOR A DEFENDANT, DIRECTING COURTS TO SERVE CERTAIN DOCUMENTS ON A DEFENDANT'S BEHALF, AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits certain fees for defendants in eviction cases, requires courts to serve certain documents on a defendant's behalf, and makes an appropriation to the judicial department. Specifically, the bill prohibits a defendant from being charged any fee, charge, or cost for filing an answer to a forcible entry and detainer complaint, regardless of whether the answer includes a counterclaim or cross-claim or seeks a money judgment. It also requires courts to timely serve any physically filed documents on the plaintiff on behalf of a pro se defendant without charging a fee. The bill provides an appropriation of $122,743 to the judicial department for the 2024-25 fiscal year to implement these changes.
