Assembly Bill 1134 aims to amend the regulations surrounding the information available on the Consolidated Court Automation Programs (CCAP) Internet site regarding dismissed eviction actions. The bill mandates that if an eviction action is dismissed, the director of state courts must promptly redact the defendants' names from the case management information on the CCAP site. This change is significant as it eliminates the current requirement that the names remain accessible for a minimum of two years after a dismissal, provided no money judgment is docketed.

Additionally, the bill consolidates and renumbers existing legal language related to eviction actions, specifically amending the provisions that govern the retention of case management information. While it retains the prohibition against removing information for cases where a writ of restitution has been granted for at least ten years, it repeals the previous stipulation regarding dismissed cases. This legislative change is intended to enhance privacy for individuals whose eviction actions have been dismissed, thereby reducing the potential stigma associated with such actions.
