Establishes provisions relating to the removal of certain court records from automated case management systems

HB 143 allows individuals convicted of misdemeanor offenses to request that their court records be made confidential in automated systems after their death. Specifically, family members or representatives may file a motion with the court, including a death certificate, if the person has been deceased for at least six months. The court must then review whether making the record confidential would unfairly prejudice others before granting the request. This bill directly affects families of deceased misdemeanor offenders seeking to remove public access to those records.
