HB1067Enacted
modify certain provisions regarding notice, service, and execution of judgments in forceable entry and detainer actions.
HB 1067 speeds up eviction proceedings by allowing landlords to start serving tenants by publication (posting notices publicly) on the same day they first attempt personal service, without needing court approval first. The bill also requires sheriffs to make at least four service attempts at least six hours apart within thirty days, and allows posting on the fourth attempt if the tenant cannot be found in person. Additionally, it changes the response deadline for defendants from four days to thirty days after the first published notice.
