Committee advances bill limiting public access to eviction records after seven years
Summary
House Bill 1095, advanced by the Appropriations committee, would restrict public access to eviction filings older than seven years or make records unavailable once a case is adjudicated in favor of the occupant; the committee passed the bill by roll call and referred it to the House floor.
The House Appropriations Committee voted to advance House Bill 1095, which would limit public access to eviction information that is more than seven years old or make records inaccessible immediately if a case is adjudicated in favor of the occupant.
An assistant executive director for the committee summarized the bill, saying, “House Bill 1095 provides limited access to eviction information after 7 years since the filing of the case or immediately upon adjudication of the eviction case in favor of the occupant.”
Committee members requested a roll‑call vote for the measure. The transcript records that the committee held the roll call, and the chair announced the ayes had it; the committee recorded the bill as passed and re‑referred to the House floor. The transcript does not record the full roll‑call tally numbers in a consolidated count; individual members responded in the roll call during the meeting record.
The committee did not add amendments or attach a fiscal note in the transcript excerpt. As presented to the committee, the bill changes access to eviction records and does not, in the committee record provided, alter eviction case adjudication standards or tenant remedies.
The bill now moves to the full House for possible debate, amendment or a floor vote.
