Bill overview
This bill changes how court proceedings in family law cases are handled, primarily focusing on privacy and discretion. It requires courts to have the power to close proceedings or portions of them if it’s necessary to protect a compelling interest, such as preventing harassment or safeguarding privacy. The bill also establishes rules for accessing court records in these cases, allowing for sealing or redaction of information when justified, and prohibits the public posting of personal identifying information without consent, carrying a felony penalty. Existing laws regarding divorce proceedings closure are also repealed.
