AN ACT relating to forcible entry and detainer.

Summary

The bill orders courts to erase the record of a forcible detainer (eviction) case if it is dismissed, treating the case as if it never occurred and preventing it from showing up on background or credit checks. It also prohibits naming minors as defendants in eviction actions unless the minor is the leaseholder, and provides a way to remove any improper filings. The changes aim to protect tenants’ future housing, employment, and credit opportunities.
