SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Expungement and sealing of offenses resulting in a deferred and dismissed disposition or conviction by petition; defendant with a disorder or disability. Provides that a defendant with a disorder or disability, as defined in the bill, may file a petition that requests the sealing of the criminal history record information and court records of a Class 4 felony conviction or deferred and dismissed disposition. Under current law, Class 4 felony convictions or deferred and dismissed dispositions are ineligible to be sealed. The bill also provides that when a conviction or deferral and dismissal has been sealed, the defendant of such sealed record is a defendant with a disorder or disability, and the Governor granted the defendant a simple pardon for the commission of the crime or offense that was sealed, such conviction or deferral and dismissal shall be considered to be otherwise dismissed for purposes of expungement.
