Provide for setting aside convictions and expunging records for convictions and adjudications for concealed weapon offenses, provide a private cause of action for violations of the Security, Privacy, and Dissemination of Criminal History Information Act, waive sovereign immunity, and provide for retroactivity

LB 226 allows individuals convicted of specific concealed weapon offenses under Nebraska law before September 2, 2023, to petition courts to clear their records. It creates a rebuttable presumption for relief if the conduct would not violate current law, requiring courts to consider post-conviction behavior and public safety. The bill also establishes a private legal right to sue for improper sharing of criminal history records under the Security, Privacy, and Dissemination Act and waives government immunity for such cases. This applies retroactively to past convictions, enabling affected individuals to seek record sealing through court motions.
