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 commits a crime for which the maximum term of imprisonment is six years or less before he or she reaches the age of 25, a court may at the time of sentencing order that the court's record of the crime and conviction be expunged when the person successfully completes his or her sentence if the court finds that expunging the record will benefit the person and will not harm society.
This bill allows the court to order at any time such a record expunged after the person completes his or her sentence instead of just at sentencing.
