AI Summary

This bill creates the Predatory Solicitation Prevention Act, which aims to protect property owners from aggressive or persistent solicitation. The law defines "predatory solicitation" as repeated communication intended to harass, intimidate, or pressure a property owner into making a purchase, sale, or investment in real property, effectively limiting the owner's ability to refuse. Under the act, any person or entity engaging in such predatory solicitation will be subject to a penalty of $600 per instance of communication. The Attorney General or a district attorney can bring an action to recover damages and penalties, with the collected funds being split equally between the State Health Care Enhancement Fund and the Court Clerk's Revolving Fund. The legislation will take effect on November 1, 2025, and seeks to provide legal recourse for property owners who are subjected to aggressive or repeated solicitation tactics that go beyond normal business communication practices.
