An Act relative to appealing a notice of disinvitation

Summary

The bill amends Massachusetts’ criminal trespass law to let anyone who believes they have a right to be on premises file a district‑court complaint to vacate a written notice telling them they are no longer welcome. If the court finds the notice was issued without proper discretion, it can order the notice removed, which then serves as a complete defense against any trespass prosecution. This gives individuals a legal way to challenge potentially arbitrary disinvitation notices.
