Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would automatically clear court records when an eviction case is dismissed, and would allow records from eviction proceedings to be sealed. This matters to Kentuckians because eviction records can appear in background checks and affect a person's ability to rent housing in the future, even when a case did not result in an eviction. Who it may affect: renters who have had eviction cases filed against them that were later dismissed, and landlords involved in those proceedings.
