An act relating to permitting public access to electronic criminal case records
H 572 would repeal Vermont's current law prohibiting public access to electronic criminal case records. This change would allow anyone to view digital court files related to criminal cases, which are currently unavailable to the public. The bill's key mechanism is removing the existing legal barrier that restricts access to these electronic records. It has been referred to the Judiciary Committee for further review.
