AI Summary

  • Creates a public records exemption for criminal history records of human trafficking victims that are expunged and retained by the Department of Law Enforcement
  • Exempted records remain confidential and are not accessible to the public, except that criminal justice agencies may access them for criminal justice purposes or upon court order
  • Criminal justice agencies may retain a notation indicating compliance with expungement orders
  • Exemption is subject to the Open Government Sunset Review Act and will automatically repeal on October 2, 2018, unless reenacted by the Legislature
