Kentucky SB83 revises forcible entry and detainer laws, including expungement of dismissed cases and improper minor naming.

Kentucky SB83 amends forcible entry and detainer laws by requiring the expungement of records if a case is dismissed. The court must order the expungement within five days of the final order. Additionally, the bill allows for the expungement of an unemancipated minor's name if improperly named as a defendant in a forcible detainer action. The expungement process includes deleting records from computer systems and ensuring no record exists on official background checks.
