SB 6321: Using records/housing opps

Concerning the use of certain unlawful detainer and protection order records to protect housing opportunities.

Summary

  • A person's ability to obtain rental housing in the future constitutes a compelling privacy and safety concern that can be weighed against the public's interest in access to the records in any hearing concerning the proposed redaction or sealing of court records if the person is neither a homeowner nor an incarcerated person.
