Bill Summary
For legislation to protect the privacy of children in eviction proceedings. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the privacy of children in eviction proceedings. It amends the existing laws to exclude the names of minors and adult household members who are not signatories to the tenancy agreement and not responsible for rent payments from being included in the summary process summons and complaint. The bill also requires the expungement of these household members' names from any court record and electronic docket entry. However, the bill does not affect the right of an occupant to seek to intervene in a summary process action or the right of the original parties to the action to move to join additional parties for good cause.
