Concerns prohibition of certain residential tenant evictions and removals due to residential foreclosure during federal government shutdown.

S 4939 (Sponsored by Senators Timberlake & Mukherji) prevents evictions and foreclosures for specific tenants during federal government shutdowns. It defines "eligible residents" as federal employees furloughed or recipients of SNAP food assistance. The Governor may issue an executive order halting enforcement of eviction/foreclosure actions (like removals or warrants) for up to one month after a shutdown ends, but proceedings can still move forward. Exceptions allow enforcement if a court deems it "necessary in the interest of justice" or if an eviction isn't about unpaid rent. This bill directly affects New Jersey tenants who lose income due to federal shutdowns.
