S 744: Eviction Expungement

This bill allows individuals with qualifying eviction records to have them removed from public access. Specifically, it enables people who haven't faced any new evictions in South Carolina for at least five years to apply to their local magistrate court for expungement of past eviction files. The court must verify the five-year eviction-free period before granting the request, and fees for this process would be set by the state's Court Administration. This change directly affects renters with past eviction histories who meet the five-year clean record requirement.
