The United States Supreme Court has ended the national moratorium of evictions, with the court’s conservative majority finding that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) overstepped its power to order the ban. The ruling allows evictions to resume locally and nationwide.
The issue of the moratorium, which had been scheduled to expire Oct. 3, could now end up in Congress.
Congress has punted the issue and not acted while state and federal courts have deliberated. However, now that the Court has ended the moratorium, Congress may take up the issue when members return from August recess in September.
GCNKAA’s Legislative Affairs team does have meetings scheduled with Ohio and Kentucky members of Congress and their staffs over the next two weeks. Our concerns – along with the financial and other impacts the ban has had on members – will be made known.
