HD 705 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act improving access to the Housing Court

HD 705 requires the Housing Court to hold at least one session each week in Nantucket County and at least one session each week in Dukes County. This directly affects residents and renters in these two counties who use the Housing Court for housing disputes, improving their local access to court services. The bill amends the General Laws to mandate these specific weekly sessions in both locations. This change is limited to scheduling requirements and does not alter the court's jurisdiction or other procedures.
