The bill requires a court to suppress court records related to an eviction proceeding or an action for termination of a mobile home park tenancy so that the records are not publicly available. If an order granting the plaintiff possession of the premises is entered in the action, the court must lift the suppression order unless the parties agree that the records should remain suppressed. The names of the parties included in a court record that is suppressed may be used by a court for administrative purposes, but the court shall not, for any reason, publish the names of the parties online. A summons in an eviction proceeding must include a notice concerning suppression of court records related to the action.
