Under existing law, a person may petition to have records of a criminal conviction expunged if certain requirements are first satisfied. The court may hold a hearing on the petition, and is only required to hold a hearing if there is an objection from the prosecution or a victim of the offense. This bill would authorize a person whose conviction was overturned or vacated to petition a court for the expungement of the conviction. This bill would authorize a person whose offense was pardoned to petition a court for the expungement of the offense. This bill would require a hearing on the expungement petition prior to the dismissal of the petition. Also under existing law, a filing fee of $500 is required for any petition for expungement. This bill would waive the filing fee and associated court costs if the petition for expungement is for an arrest record following a finding of not guilty, or if a petition seeks the expungement of an overturned or vacated conviction.
