SB 6117: Juvenile court record seals

Revising conditions under which juvenile court records may be sealed.

Summary

Eliminates contests to regular sealing hearings for juvenile court records and fact-finding related to whether the respondent has completed the terms and conditions of disposition.
Exempts dismissals of deferred dispositions from a requirement that juvenile court records be immediately sealed upon acquittal or dismissal with prejudice.
Requires the clerk of court to notify a juvenile when sealing is denied due solely to lack of payment of restitution and requires the court to seal the record if the juvenile provides proof of payment at a later date.
