Plain-English Summary

This bill allows courts to seal records of eviction proceedings in certain situations, such as when it's in the interest of justice or when a judgment for possession is entered for the plaintiff. It also requires records to be sealed until a judgment for possession is entered and automatically expunged after three years. The bill outlines conditions for releasing sealed records for research or to parties involved, and it allows prospective tenants to sue housing providers who use sealed records to take adverse action against them.
