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 bill modifies Tennessee laws regarding expunctions, which are legal processes to seal or erase criminal records. It allows the state Bureau of Investigation to provide defendants with a certified copy of their expunction order for a reasonable fee. The legislation also clarifies which documents count as public records eligible for expunction and requires the Bureau to inform district attorneys if a person seeking expunction has already had one granted previously. These changes aim to streamline the record-clearing process and improve transparency for individuals petitioning to remove their criminal history.
