CO HB1395

Limits public access to juvenile delinquency records by making certain records public only after a court orders a juvenile be charged as an adult, and eliminates prosecuting attorney notification requirements to school principals for minor offenses.

Establishes automatic record expungement for juveniles upon acquittal, case dismissal, diversion completion, or sentence completion for class 2-3 misdemeanors without sexual or domestic violence components.

Creates two additional expungement pathways: (1) automatic expungement with victim/prosecutor notice and objection rights for certain misdemeanors and non-violent felonies, and (2) petition-based expungement with waiting periods ranging from 1-5 years depending on offense severity.

Requires courts to provide written notice to juveniles and parents regarding expungement rights and timelines at adjudication and after supervision ends.

Prohibits employers, schools, landlords, and government agencies from requiring applicants to disclose expunged records and allows applicants to state no arrest or conviction occurred regarding expunged matters; includes civil liability and employment dismissal provisions for confidentiality violations.
