What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a person is convicted of a criminal offense for which the maximum period of imprisonment is not more than six years and the person committed the offense before he or she was 25 years old, the court may order, at the time the person is sentenced, that the record of the offense be expunged when the person successfully completes his or her sentence imposed for the offense. If the person was adjudicated delinquent for committing an offense, current law allows the person to petition the court to expunge the record of the adjudication when he or she reaches the age of 17. Under current law, the court may expunge the record of the adjudication if the person complied with the conditions of his or her dispositional order. Current law excludes certain offenses from expungement and generally requires the court to determine that the person will benefit and society will not be harmed by expungement.
Current law requires the court to expunge a record of conviction, upon an offender's successful completion of his or her sentence, for certain offenses related to invasion of privacy if the offender was under the age of 18 when he or she committed the offense. If the person was adjudicated delinquent for committing the offenses related to invasion of privacy, current law requires the court to expunge the record of the adjudication, upon petition of the person when she he or attains the age of 17, if the person had no prior adjudications of delinquency and he or she complied with the conditions of his or her dispositional order.
