Bill > SB2721

This bill, titled the Real Property Owners Protection Act, amends Mississippi Code Section 89-10-5 to remove a specific provision that previously stated that a "squatter," defined as someone who trespasses or enters property without permission for a short period, could not gain any property rights from such unauthorized entry. The bill retains the existing language that the right to manage, control, or receive payments for real property belongs solely to the owner or their designated representative. In essence, this legislation removes a clause that explicitly addressed squatters' rights in relation to property ownership, simplifying the existing law.
