SB 233 Housing authorities; development of a "no trespass" policy.

Introduced by: Benjamin J. Lambert III | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Conveyance of streets; no trespass policy. Requires each housing authority to adopt a “no trespass” policy designed to protect the premises controlled by such authority and residents from nonresidents who enter the premises for unlawful purposes or without any lawful purpose. In adopting such policies, the authority shall determine whether to petition a locality or the Commonwealth to close to the public and convey to the authority any streets serving authority property. Neither a locality nor the Commonwealth shall be required to grant the conveyance. The Attorney General shall develop and distribute a model policy that takes into account any relevant constitutional limitations on such action by housing authorities, the locality or the Commonwealth; however, no housing authority is required to adopt the model policy. The bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2005.
