Summary

The bill rewrites sections of the Civil Rights Law so that any filing for a legal name change or sex‑designation change cannot be viewed by the public, only by the petitioner, their attorney, or someone with a court finding of good cause. It also orders courts and clerks to delete existing online and in‑person listings of such records within 90 days and lets anyone request removal at any time. The aim is to protect the privacy of individuals undergoing these legal changes.
