The bill amends Section 34-18-60 of the General Laws in the "Residential Landlord and Tenant Act" to introduce provisions for sealing eviction records under specific circumstances. It allows for the sealing of eviction records when a civil action is dismissed due to a defective complaint or lack of jurisdiction, with such sealing not counting against a tenant's eligibility to request the sealing of one eviction record in five years. Additionally, the bill mandates the sealing of any minor's name involved in an eviction proceeding, which is also exempt from the five-year limitation on sealing requests. The act will take effect upon passage.
