CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1732 - This act modifies provisions relating to the removal of persons unlawfully occupying property with a residential dwelling through ex parte orders and the offense of criminal mischief. Specifically, this act changes "residential dwelling" to "private noncommerical property" as it relates to such provisions.
As it relates to the provision regarding the ex parte order of removal, this act defines the term "authorized agent" to include executors, administrators, trustees, and verified heirs. This act also provides that the property owner, after the sheriff serves the order of removal, may remove the property, rather than just personal property, of the unlawful occupant without liability for damages unless the removal was wrongful.
This act is identical to HCS/HB 2099 (2026).
