What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the director of state courts maintains a system, known as the Consolidated Court Automation Programs (CCAP), that contains information about family, civil, and criminal cases and municipal ordinance violations filed in the courts in this state. The information on CCAP is available for free on an Internet Web site. CCAP allows a user to enter a person's name into a search function on the Web site and retrieve information about every case involving the person.

Under current law, records of delinquency or of alleged criminal or municipal ordinance violations involving a person under the age of 17 are confidential and not available for public review on CCAP. However, records of criminal charges and charges involving a municipal ordinance violation are available for public review on CCAP if the person charged is 17 years of age or is an adult. Generally, records of non-traffic municipal ordinance violations are viewable on CCAP for five years.

Under this bill, records involving a municipal ordinance violation alleged against or committed by a person who is 17 years of age may not be displayed on CCAP.
