HB 242 -- LANDLORD-TENANT ACTIONS SPONSOR: May (108) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Judiciary by a vote of 17 to 0. This bill revises provisions concerning landlord-tenant actions. The bill provides that a court date must be assigned at the time the summons is issued; the court date must be set within 21 business days from the date the summons is issued unless the plaintiff consents to a later date; and the summons must be served at least 4 days before the court date specified in the summons. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that it is important to allow more time between when a summons is issued and the court date is assigned in landlord-tenant actions because the current time limits are not sufficient.
