AI Summary
This bill mandates that judges must expunge (erase) arrest records in specific situations where a case did not result in a conviction. This includes instances where an arrest was made, but the person was released and the charges were subsequently dropped or the case was dismissed, or if there was no final decision or ruling in the case (no disposition), or if the person was found not guilty after a trial. This provision aims to clear the records of individuals who were arrested but not convicted of any crime, providing them with a cleaner slate.
