Explanation
The bill, which eliminates lapse of time evictions for certain tenants,
is not anticipated to have a fiscal impact to the state. To the extent the
bill results in fewer evictions, there may be a potential savings to
municipalities associated with storing less possessions of evicted
tenants, beginning in FY 26.
The court system disposes of over 20,000 housing summary process
cases annually. The possible reduction in summary process filings is not
anticipated to have a material change on the Judicial Department's
operations.
The bill additionally requires the Department of Housing to modify
an existing online notice, which can be done without cost.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of evictions and property
municipalities must store as a result.
