Provides definitions for case information and documents that are identified as public, impounded, confidential, sealed, and expunged. Requires the Supreme Court to establish a process for access to court files that are limited by statute or court rule, and to create a statewide standardized form to request access to documents in a court file that is restricted in any manner.

Removes language requiring the Supreme Court to create a statewide standardized form to request access to documents in a court file that is restricted in any manner. 2/15/2023HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
