S.B. No. 1667 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to enhance the procedures for the expunction of arrest records and files. Key changes include the addition of new requirements for individuals seeking expunction, such as providing specific information in their petitions, including their full name, date of birth, and details about the arrest. The bill also mandates that district clerks maintain a list of relevant agencies and their contact information on their websites. Furthermore, it establishes that the court must set a hearing on expunction petitions no earlier than 30 days after filing and requires that notices be sent to relevant agencies electronically, with a fee of $25 for those unable to receive electronic transmissions.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the retention of certain mental health records and clarifies the responsibilities of the court and clerks regarding the handling of expunction orders. It specifies that the clerk is not required to charge fees for electronic transmissions to agencies that can receive them, while a fee will be charged for those that cannot. The bill also repeals certain outdated provisions and ensures that the new regulations apply only to petitions filed after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025.
