The bill amends section 943.059 of the Florida Statutes to revise the eligibility requirements for the court-ordered sealing of criminal history records. Key changes include the introduction of new criteria for eligibility, such as allowing the sealing of records related to certain misdemeanor offenses that are not violent or related to domestic violence. Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals may be eligible to seal records if they have not been adjudicated guilty of any offenses other than those eligible for sealing, and it allows for the sealing of up to three records of adjudication of guilt under specific circumstances.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that courts may seal additional adjudications of guilt if they are directly related to the original adjudication. It also modifies the conditions under which individuals can deny or fail to acknowledge sealed records, particularly in contexts such as employment with criminal justice agencies or when seeking to purchase firearms. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
