AN ACT CONCERNING THE REMOVAL OF AN UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL FROM REAL PROPERTY.

SB 337 allows property owners to request law enforcement, rather than a court, to remove individuals occupying their property without a signed written agreement from the owner. It directly affects property owners seeking to evict unauthorized occupants and the occupants themselves who lack written permission for their presence. The bill replaces the current requirement for a court-ordered summary process with a streamlined law enforcement removal procedure upon the owner’s request. This changes the procedural mechanism for unlawful occupancy removal but does not alter the definition of unlawful occupancy.
