AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend South Carolina law by adding a new section that addresses the removal of certain public eviction records. Specifically, it mandates that if an eviction notice is filed but does not lead to an official court order for eviction (an "Order of Eviction" or "Writ of Ejectment") within thirty days, that notice must be removed from public records. Furthermore, even if an eviction case is resolved, whether through a court order, settlement, or payment of a judgment, the associated filings and records will be removed from public access six years after the case is finalized. This aims to ensure that old or unresolved eviction filings do not remain permanently on public records, offering a degree of privacy for individuals involved in such proceedings.
