Rep. Heather Bauer

Maddy summaryH. 4270 proposes new rules for removing eviction records from public access in South Carolina. It mandates that if an eviction filing does not result in an eviction order within 30 days, the record must be removed from public indexes and files. Additionally, all eviction filings and records containing personal information, including those with an eviction order or settlement, must be removed from public view six years after their final disposition. Records older than six years would be automatically removed. This bill directly affects individuals who have had eviction proceedings against them.
