Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that a court may order that a court file in a forcible entry and detainer action be placed under seal if the court finds that the plaintiff's action is without a basis in fact or law, including a lack of jurisdiction, sealing the file is in the interests of justice, and those interests are not outweighed by the public's interest in the record. Provides that a court shall order that a file in a forcible entry and detainer action be sealed if the court finds that the defendant occupied real property that was subject to mortgage foreclosure and either the foreclosure redemption period expired and the defendant vacated the property before the action was filed, or the defendant was a tenant during the redemption period and did not receive a notice to vacate before the action was filed. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause and re-inserts similar provisions, except that it replaces the language in the introduced bill regarding mandatory sealing of court files with language providing that the court file relating to a forcible entry and detainer action brought against a tenant who would have lawful possession of the premises but for the foreclosure on the property shall be sealed pursuant to specified provisions of the Mortgage Foreclosure Article of the Code of Civil Procedure. Effective immediately.
