The bill amends Section 34-18-60 of 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 that any minor named in an eviction proceeding will have their records sealed, and this sealing will also not affect the eligibility for future sealing requests. The act will take effect upon passage.
