Final Approval

This bill aims to change the rules on how eviction notices, called writs of possession, are served to tenants. It was introduced on January 9, 2025, and after passing through several stages of review and approval, it was signed by the Governor on May 5, 2025.

The bill affects landlords and tenants, particularly in situations where a landlord wants to evict a tenant and needs to serve them with a writ of possession. The new rules may impact how these notices are delivered and received.

Currently, the bill has been approved by the Governor and is now law. Key steps in its progress include being referred to the Judiciary Committee, where it received favorable reports, and passing both the House and Senate. The bill was signed by the Governor on May 5, 2025, completing the legislative process.
