AI Summary
This bill modifies the process for automatically clearing eviction records, known as expungement, by changing the waiting period from three years to one year after an eviction case is dismissed, provided the entire case was dismissed, no appeal is pending, and the parties have not agreed to expungement. The bill also clarifies that the court will issue an expungement order when it determines an eviction meets these criteria and specifies that these changes apply to evictions filed on or after July 1, 2022, with the new provisions taking effect on May 6, 2026.
