The bill titled "An Act relative to legal repossessions" proposes an amendment to Section 13J of Chapter 255 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The amendment involves the deletion of the phrase "and, unless the debtor consents to an entry, at the time of such entry, without entry upon property owned by, or rented to the debtor." This change aims to clarify the conditions under which repossession can occur, potentially altering the rights of debtors regarding consent for entry onto their property.

By removing this language, the bill may facilitate a more streamlined process for legal repossessions, possibly impacting how repossession agents operate in relation to debtor properties. The intent behind this legislative change appears to be to balance the interests of creditors with the rights of debtors, although the specific implications of this amendment would need to be assessed in the context of existing laws and practices surrounding repossession in Massachusetts.
