Emergency Preamble
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a statewide access to counsel program for evictions to promote housing stability and prevent homelessness and, to respond to a housing emergency that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated, and whereas, evictions lead to homelessness, housing instability, overcrowding, displacement, diminished economic opportunity, and disruption of schooling for children, all of which are associated with negative health, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public safety.
