Dispossessory Proceedings; public access to court records of dispossessory proceedings under certain conditions; prohibit

Summary

SB 617 changes Georgia law so that court files from dispossessory (eviction) actions are not available to the public if the tenant prevails, complies with any settlement agreement, or three years have passed since the case closed. The change applies to all courts handling these cases and overrides any conflicting statutes. It aims to protect tenant privacy and limit public exposure of eviction details.
