AI Summary

This bill expands an existing public records exemption to include the administrative sealing of certain criminal history records, particularly those of minors where a case was not filed, was dismissed, or resulted in an acquittal or not guilty verdict. The bill makes these administratively sealed records confidential and exempt from public records requirements, recognizing that the presence of such records can negatively impact a minor's ability to obtain education, employment, and other opportunities. The expanded exemption is subject to review and potential repeal in 2023 under the Open Government Sunset Review Act.
