Bill > HB50

This bill amends existing Kentucky law (KRS 383.290) to allow consolidated local government law enforcement agencies, in addition to other specified law enforcement officers, to remove individuals unlawfully occupying real property. The process requires the property owner or their agent to submit a signed petition to the law enforcement agency, attesting that the occupant is not a tenant, never had permission to occupy, and is not an immediate family member, among other conditions. The law enforcement officer will then serve a notice to vacate, which can be delivered by hand or by posting it in a conspicuous location on the property. The bill also clarifies that the Department of Kentucky State Police will create and post a form for this petition on its website, though using this specific form is not mandatory for the petition to be valid. This procedure is specifically for individuals who have never had any legal right to occupy the property and does not apply to current or former tenants.
