Bill Summary

CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS -- Amends existing law to provide that criminal history records shall be shielded from disclosure under certain circumstances.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to allow certain individuals who were arrested for, prosecuted for, or convicted of a misdemeanor that is not an assaultive or violent offense, or for felony possession of a controlled substance, to petition the court to have their criminal history records shielded from public disclosure. To be eligible, the individual must have completed their sentence, including probation and restitution, at least five years prior, and must not have any subsequent convictions or pending cases. The court has discretion to grant the petition if it finds the individual has been held accountable and shielding the records would not compromise public safety. The shielded records would remain available to law enforcement, court officers, and the subject of the petition, but would generally be unavailable to the public.
