AI Summary
This bill establishes a task force to study the current system for removing and storing property belonging to evicted tenants, as outlined in section 47a-42 of the general statutes. The task force will examine the costs associated with property removal for municipalities, plaintiffs (the party initiating the eviction), and defendants (the evicted tenant), as well as the average value of stored items. Its goal is to recommend changes to laws or regulations that could reduce these costs and make the property removal process more efficient. The task force will be composed of members appointed by legislative leaders, including representatives from municipalities and state marshals, and will be supported by the administrative staff of the housing committee in the General Assembly. The task force is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2027, and will cease to exist after submitting this report or on that date, whichever is later.
