Maddy summaryThis bill automatically seals certain criminal records after specific timeframes if no prosecution occurs. It applies to arrests (after January 1, 2027) without docket numbers or cases (after January 1, 2027) with no action for a year.

This change directly affects individuals previously covered by this specific public health law provision, though it does not alter other STI-related laws or public health practices.
