AI Summary
This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow for the expunction (or sealing) of arrest records and files if a grand jury finds no bill of indictment (i.e., no probable cause to indict) for the offense the person was arrested for. Previously, expunction was only available in certain circumstances, such as if the person was acquitted or pardoned. The bill also specifies that this change applies to offenses that occurred before, on, or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2021.
