AI Summary

This bill expands an existing public records exemption to include the administrative sealing of specified criminal history records. The bill provides that criminal history records that have been administratively sealed because a case was not filed, was dismissed or nolle prosequi, or resulted in the granting of a judgment of acquittal or verdict of not guilty, shall be confidential and exempt from public records requirements. This is to prevent negative consequences for individuals who were not found to have committed the offense that is the subject of the sealed record. The expanded exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will stand repealed on October 2, 2023, unless reviewed and saved from repeal through reenactment by the Legislature.
