CRIMINAL/RECORDS: Provides relative to expungement of criminal records (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
This bill amends the existing legal framework for expunging criminal records by updating specific article references and removing outdated procedural lines. It directly affects individuals seeking to clear their criminal histories by modifying the statutes that govern how these records are erased. The key mechanism involves deleting old text and inserting new citations to Article 985.3, which streamlines the language used in the law. As a technical revision, the bill focuses on correcting the legislative text rather than creating new rights or changing the fundamental process for record expungement.
