The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1169, seeks to amend current statutes to grant landlords the ability to review the criminal history records of prospective tenants. This includes the consideration of erased criminal history records, which were previously not accessible for such evaluations.

The intent of the bill is to provide landlords with more comprehensive information regarding potential tenants, thereby allowing them to make informed decisions based on the criminal history of applicants. This change reflects a shift in policy that could impact tenant screening processes and housing accessibility for individuals with criminal records.
