Require eviction records to be sealed after three years

HB 368 requires eviction records to be automatically sealed (removed from public access) after three years. This directly affects tenants who have faced eviction proceedings, as it limits how long such records remain visible to landlords, employers, or others conducting background checks. The bill creates a specific process under Ohio law (section 1923.111) to ensure records are sealed without requiring tenants to take additional action. This policy change aims to provide individuals with a clearer path to housing stability by reducing long-term barriers from past eviction history.
