Bill overview
This bill, the Electronic Court Records Reform Act of 2019, aims to modernize the way federal court records are managed and accessed. It directs the U.S. Courts to consolidate their existing case management system into a single, more efficient platform, and updates the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system to make court documents freely available to the public and parties involved in cases. The goal is to improve security, accessibility, and affordability while reducing burdens on those representing themselves in court.
