Bill > SB00337

This bill proposes a significant change to property law by empowering law enforcement to remove unauthorized occupants from real property more quickly and directly. Currently, property owners typically must go through a legal process called "summary process" (commonly known as eviction) to remove individuals from their property. Under this proposed legislation, if a property owner requests law enforcement's assistance, police can remove an individual from the property if that person cannot provide a signed written agreement demonstrating they have the owner's permission to be on the premises. This new approach would potentially streamline the removal process by allowing immediate law enforcement intervention, bypassing the traditionally time-consuming court-based eviction procedures. The bill aims to give property owners a more expedient method of regaining control of their property when someone is occupying it without authorization, while providing law enforcement with a clear protocol for handling such situations.
