AI Summary

This bill expands an existing public records exemption to include the administrative sealing of specified criminal history records of minors. The expansion is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will stand repealed on October 2, 2023, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature. If the expansion is not saved from repeal, the previous version of the law will be restored, with any amendments not dependent on the expired portions preserved. The bill also provides a statement of public necessity, explaining that the presence of sealed criminal history records can negatively impact minors' access to education, employment, and other opportunities, and that confidentiality is warranted in cases where the minor was not found to have committed the offense.
