SB 160 would allow some youthful offenders to petition to have their criminal records expunged, with certain offenses excluded.
Adds a new section that lets a youthful offender who is no longer eligible for youthful offender status petition the circuit court in the county where the charges were filed to expunge their criminal record. Expungement is not allowed if the youthful offender was adjudicated of a violent offense, a sex offense, or a driving under the influence offense. If eligible, the youthful offender must follow all existing expungement procedures and requirements in the law. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
