Emergency Preamble
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a statewide right to counsel pilot program for evictions to promote housing stability and prevent homelessness in response to the COVID-19 emergency and upon the lifting of the eviction moratorium, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public safety.
