HB 1776 Police and court records; expungement.

Introduced by: C. Todd Gilbert | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Expungement of police and court records; fingerprints.  Requires a person petitioning for expungement because he was arrested or charged because his name or other identification was used without his consent to provide a complete set of fingerprints along with the petition.  The bill also requires an expungement order to be accompanied by the petitioner's fingerprints when the charge is dismissed because the person arrested or charged is not the person named in the summons, warrant, etc.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Expungement of police and court records.  Provides that dismissed charges may not be expunged if the court found the evidence sufficient to find the person guilty, and that charges that result in a conviction for a lesser included offense or that are subject to amendment or substitution by charge or indictment resulting in a conviction may not be altered or expunged.
