Concerns prohibition of certain residential tenant evictions and removals due to residential foreclosure during federal government shutdown.
This bill (A4322) protects specific tenants during federal government shutdowns by preventing evictions or foreclosures from residential properties. It applies to federal employees furloughed without pay or recipients of SNAP (food assistance) benefits. During a shutdown, the Governor may issue an executive order halting enforcement of eviction/foreclosure judgments for these "eligible residents," with the order lasting up to one month after the shutdown ends. Exceptions allow enforcement if the court deems it necessary for justice or if the eviction is unrelated to rent nonpayment.
