House Bill No. by Representative Chassion amends the Code of Criminal Procedure Articles 999(A) and 999.1 to modify the qualifications for expedited expungement of arrest records. The bill removes the requirement that individuals must be 17 years old to qualify for expedited expungement. Instead, it allows for expedited expungement if either the district attorney declines to prosecute the case or if prosecution was initiated and subsequently disposed of through dismissal, a motion to quash, or acquittal.

Additionally, the changes are reflected in the Order of Expungement form, which will no longer include the age requirement. This bill aims to streamline the expungement process and make it more accessible to individuals who meet the new criteria, thereby facilitating the removal of arrest records for those who have not been prosecuted or whose cases have been resolved favorably.
