The bill amends Section 34-18-60 of the General Laws in the "Residential Landlord and Tenant Act" to facilitate the sealing of court files related to eviction actions. It removes the five-year waiting period for filing a motion to seal an eviction court file and eliminates the numerical limitation that restricted parties to one request to seal their record every five years. The court is required to grant the motion to seal if the underlying action has been dismissed for lack of prosecution. This act will take effect immediately upon passage.
