HB295
Expedite unauthorized occupant removal; prohibit fraudulent deeds
Summary
The bill provides for the expedited removal of unauthorized occupants from residential properties by allowing record owners or their agents to request immediate removal by the county sheriff under specific conditions. It also prohibits the use and sale of fraudulent deeds related to real property. An emergency declaration is included to ensure immediate effect.
Rationale
The bill supports property rights by facilitating the removal of unauthorized occupants, which aligns with the Libertarian emphasis on property rights. However, the expedited process may infringe on due process rights, leading to a lower alignment score for the LP. The LPO's support for property rights and limited government intervention aligns more closely with the bill's intent, resulting in a higher score.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential violation of due process rights for unauthorized occupants.
- Increased government involvement in property disputes.
- Risk of wrongful removals leading to legal challenges.
