House Bill No. by Representative Boyer aims to enhance the process for expunging arrest information by enacting Code of Criminal Procedure Article 978.1. The bill stipulates that individuals seeking to expunge their arrest records must submit additional documentation to the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information alongside their motion to expunge. This includes court minute entries, charge disposition reports, copies of pardons, and orders for set aside or dismissal, if applicable.

Furthermore, the proposed law mandates that applicants provide a criminal background check, a certification letter from the district attorney for a fee waiver, and various certifications regarding their criminal history and participation in pretrial diversion programs. This comprehensive approach is designed to ensure that all relevant information is considered during the expungement process, thereby streamlining the procedure and enhancing its effectiveness.
