This bill proposes the repeal of section 61-8B-19 of the Code of West Virginia, which currently addresses the confidentiality of court files and law-enforcement records. By enacting this bill, the provisions that protect the confidentiality of these records will be eliminated, thereby allowing for greater public access to such information.

The intent of the bill is to enhance transparency regarding court and law-enforcement records, which may have implications for public oversight and accountability. The repeal signifies a shift in policy towards more open access to legal documents and records that were previously kept confidential under the existing law.
