Ex. Summary:
Senate Bill 24-064 enhances public transparency by requiring monthly reports on residential eviction data. It ensures courts collect and publish case details, including eviction reasons, legal representation status, and case outcomes. The bill establishes a searchable statewide database while safeguarding tenant and landlord privacy by prohibiting releasing personally identifiable information. It allows qualified research organizations to access detailed eviction data to inform housing policy and legislative decisions. Additionally, courts must standardize eviction filings and submit annual reports to the legislature regarding eviction trends.
