The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes related to the execution of judgments in eviction cases. It introduces new provisions that stipulate if a tenant files a motion to compel satisfaction of a judgment against a landlord and the landlord fails to respond within 15 days, several outcomes will occur: the filing fee for the motion will be waived, no hearing will be held, the judgment will be deemed satisfied upon proof of payment, and the judge will seal all related eviction records. These changes aim to streamline the process for tenants seeking to enforce judgments.

Additionally, the bill requires landlords to include the applicable county form for a motion to compel satisfaction of judgment when serving a tenant with a 10-day notice for material noncompliance. The bill also removes certain existing language regarding the requirement for landlords to include this form, thereby updating the legal framework to reflect the new procedural requirements. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance tenant protections and simplify the legal process surrounding eviction judgments.
