Expunction - As enacted, authorizes the TBI to notify the district attorney general for the judicial district in which a person petitions a court for expunction if the petitioner has been granted a prior expunction; clarifies what constitutes public records for the purpose of expunction; authorizes a court entering an order of expunction to release a copy of the order to the petitioner. - Amends TCA Title 38 and Title 40.
This law changes how Tennessee handles expunctions, which are legal processes to erase criminal records. It allows the state Bureau of Investigation to give people a certified copy of their expunction order for a fee. The bill also clarifies which records count as public records when someone asks for their history to be sealed. Additionally, it requires the Bureau to tell the local district attorney if a person has already had their records expunged before.
