HD 5744 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

A monthly report of the Executive Office of the Trial Court (under Section 15(c) of Chapter 239 of the General Laws, as amended by Section 64 of Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023) submitting its report on filings, actions, and dispositions of summary process cases relative to permanent rental protections

This bill requires the Executive Office of the Trial Court to submit a monthly report detailing the number of summary process cases involving permanent rental protections, including filings, actions, and dispositions. The report will track case processing metrics such as the number of cases filed, dismissed, or resolved, along with the average number of days cases remain open each month. This provision directly affects the trial court's administrative reporting requirements and provides data on how summary process cases related to housing protections are handled. The bill does not change how cases are decided or what protections tenants receive, but instead establishes a transparency measure for monitoring case volumes and processing times.
