Bill > SB1209

This bill modifies the timeline for trials in forcible entry and detainer cases, which are legal actions to remove someone from a property they are occupying without permission. Specifically, it changes the existing law to ensure that the trial date set in the summons, the official notice to the defendant, must be between five and ten days from when the summons is issued, not counting Sundays and holidays. The bill also updates the language to be gender-neutral and clarifies that the summons must inform the defendant about the nature of the claim against them and the potential judgment if they don't appear, with an effective date of November 1, 2026.
