An Act relating to the removal of unlawful occupants from residential real property; relating to the crimes of trespass, forgery, and deceptive business practices; and amending Rules 82 and 85(a), Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure.
This bill creates a new procedure for property owners to request police removal of certain unlawful occupants from residential properties without first obtaining a court order. It applies to occupants who entered without permission, continue occupying, have no rental agreement, aren't immediate family, and where no related litigation is pending. Owners must submit a sworn request form verifying these conditions under penalty of perjury, with potential liability for false claims. The law amends Alaska's civil procedure rules to establish this expedited process for removing occupants who don't meet specific criteria under existing eviction statutes.
