HB 3078-S.E - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Removes the requirement in current law that a juvenile be at least eighteen years old before he or she may request that his or her juvenile record be sealed.

Provides that the length of time a person must spend in the community without committing an offense before his or her record may be sealed is decreased as follows: Juvenile records relating to class B offenses may be sealed if the offender has spent five years in the community without committing an offense; juvenile records relating to class C, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor offenses, and diversions, may be sealed after the offender has spent two years in the community without committing an offense.

Requires the administrative office of the courts to ensure that the superior courts judicial information system provides prosecutors access to information on the existence of a sealed juvenile court record.
