SB 6561: Juvenile offender records

Restricting access to juvenile offender records.

Summary

  • Allows a juvenile to petition the court to seal his or her records if the juvenile has been adjudicated for a class A felony that is not a sex offense; the juvenile must have spent five years in the community without committing any offenses and meet other statutory criteria.
  • Decreases to two years the time that a juvenile must spend in the community without committing any offenses before petitioning the court for an order sealing an adjudication that is a class B felony that is not a sex offense.
  • Provides that the term adjudication has the same meaning as conviction but only for purposes of the Sentencing Reform Act.
