AN ACT relating to the removal of persons unlawfully occupying real property.

HB 50 establishes a new process for property owners to request law enforcement removal of trespassers from real property. It requires owners to submit a specific petition form verifying their ownership, that the occupant is not a tenant or family member, and that the property was not open to the public. Law enforcement must then serve a notice to vacate by hand or posting in a conspicuous location, with a $20 fee for service, and owners gain limited immunity from liability for property removal. The bill also creates a 60-day window for occupants to file lawsuits if removal is deemed wrongful, while explicitly excluding current/former tenants and family members from this process.
