Referred to Committee on Judiciary
Summary
The bill adds a new section to the South Carolina code that automatically deletes public listings of eviction filings and related records containing a defendant’s personal information after five years, provided there are no new eviction actions. It applies to all eviction and ejectment cases, including those settled or satisfied by payment. The aim is to protect privacy and lessen long‑term stigma for former tenants.
