Session Laws

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, a city or town code enforcement agency shall notify the local welfare housing unit of any condemnation proceedings being conducted that will require said welfare housing unit to relocate a displaced individual. Such notice shall be given at least two weeks in advance of any eviction action commenced by said code enforcement agency resulting from such condemnation proceeding; provided, however, that in the event of an emergency resulting in an imminent threat to human life, said code enforcement agency shall give such notice as soon as practicable.
