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

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that a person may not have been adjudicated guilty of any criminal offense other than those specified, and it modifies the conditions under which a person can petition for sealing. The bill also emphasizes that courts may seal records pertaining to multiple arrests or adjudications of guilt if they are directly related to the original incident. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
