Bill overview
This bill creates a process for local law enforcement to remove individuals (referred to as ‘squatters’) from residential properties without the owner’s consent. It outlines a procedure involving a demand to vacate, a request from the property owner to law enforcement, and law enforcement’s responsibility to remove the occupants. The bill also addresses potential fraud related to these removals and establishes a civil cause of action for damages if a removal is conducted fraudulently.
