Substitute House Bill No. 6338 establishes a legal framework for the removal of unauthorized individuals from real property, effective October 1, 2025. It defines "unauthorized person" as anyone unlawfully occupying real property who is neither a current or former tenant nor an immediate family member of the property owner. Property owners or their authorized agents can request the immediate removal of such individuals through a state marshal, provided they have directed the unauthorized person to leave and have no pending litigation regarding the property. The owner must submit a completed affidavit to the state marshal affirming the circumstances of the unauthorized occupation. The bill also introduces penalties for false statements made in the affidavit and for unauthorized individuals who fail to vacate the property upon notice.

The bill includes amendments to existing statutes, such as changing "lease" to "rental agreement" for consistency, and outlines the necessary procedures for the state marshal to serve a notice to vacate. It imposes penalties for false statements in the affidavit, classifying it as a class A misdemeanor, and allows individuals wrongfully removed to pursue civil action against the owner or agent. The legislation aims to streamline the eviction process while ensuring legal protections for all parties involved. Additionally, it references related legislation, sHB 7078, which proposes a similar eviction process but with notable differences, such as the requirement for a police officer to serve the notice to vacate and allowing occupants to present rent payment documents as proof of tenancy.
