Bill > S1290

This bill amends the existing law on court-ordered sealing of criminal history records in Florida. The key provisions include: 1. Expanding the eligibility criteria for sealing criminal records, allowing for the sealing of misdemeanor records where the person was adjudicated guilty, as long as the misdemeanor was not a violent crime, domestic violence offense, or certain other specified misdemeanors. 2. Allowing individuals to seal up to two prior criminal history records, with an additional provision that if the record was one for which the person was adjudicated guilty, they cannot have previously secured a sealing of a criminal history record for which they were adjudicated guilty. 3. Establishing a $75 processing fee for the certificate of eligibility, which can be waived by the executive director. The bill aims to provide additional opportunities for individuals to have their criminal history records sealed, subject to certain eligibility criteria, in order to facilitate their reintegration into society.
