KY SB83

Dismissed forcible detainer (eviction) actions must be automatically expunged from court records within 5 days, with no action required by the defendant

Expunged records must be deleted from all state computer systems so background checks show no record exists, and individuals are not required to disclose the expunged case on employment, credit, or other applications

Unemancipated minors improperly named as defendants in forcible detainer cases may petition for immediate expungement of their name from the order at any time

Court records in forcible detainer cases become confidential, accessible only to parties and their attorneys unless a court order permits inspection

After a final order is entered, all case documents must be sealed in an envelope and cannot be inspected without a written court order
