Requires personnel at gated communities and multi-unit complexes to allow service of process.
This bill requires security personnel at gated residential communities and multi-unit buildings to allow authorized court officers (like sheriffs, constables, or court attendants) to enter and serve legal documents on residents. Security staff must permit entry upon presentation of the officer's photo ID and the legal document itself. Refusing this request is a petty disorderly persons offense punishable by up to 30 days in jail or a $500 fine. The bill directly affects security guards in these properties and streamlines legal service processes.
