Expungement of police and court records. Permits the expungement of police and court records relating to an initial charge when a person is charged with the commission of an infraction, a crime, or a civil offense and the initial charge is reduced or amended to another offense, including a lesser included offense or the same offense with a lesser punishment, so that such person is not convicted of the initial charge. The bill also permits that a petition may request expungement of the police and court records for multiple charges if all such charges arose out of the same transaction or occurrence and all such charges are eligible for expungement.
