Relative to appealing a notice of disinvitation

Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Allows individuals to appeal a notice of disinvitation in court if they believe they have a right to access the premises.

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to allow individuals who receive a written notice of disinvitation to appeal in district court if they have a good faith reasonable belief they have a right to access the premises. The court may vacate the notice if it determines the person who provided the notice abused their discretion. A court order to vacate the notice serves as a complete defense against any prosecution under the criminal trespass provision.
