AI Summary
- Amends s. 943.0585, F.S., to add court dismissal of an indictment, information, or other charging document as a qualifying basis for petitioning to expunge a criminal history record, alongside existing grounds of dismissal or nolle prosequi by prosecutors, acquittal, or not guilty verdict
- Creates a new exception to the general rule that a person may not obtain expunction if they have previously had a record sealed or expunged, allowing a second expunction if the prior expunction was for an offense committed when the person was a minor
- Excludes from the new minor-offense exception cases in which the minor was charged as an adult, and waives the usual 10-year prior sealing requirement for expunctions qualifying under this exception
- Requires applicants to obtain a certificate of eligibility from the Department of Law Enforcement, submit a certified statement from the state attorney or statewide prosecutor, provide a certified copy of the case disposition, and pay a $75 processing fee
- Effective date is July 1, 2023
