HB 2319 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

sealing arrest records; misdemeanor designation

HB 2319 amends Arizona statutes to clarify that lifetime injunctions protecting victims from offenders remain valid even if the offender's criminal records are later sealed or reclassified as misdemeanors. Specifically, it ensures that injunctions issued under Section 13-719 (which prohibit contact after certain felony convictions) do not expire due to record sealing under Section 13-911, and that misdemeanor designations or expungements do not invalidate these injunctions. The bill directly affects victims who can maintain these protections and individuals seeking to seal their records, as it prevents record sealing from overriding existing court-ordered injunctions. Key provisions require courts to maintain injunctions for life unless the victim dies, the conviction is overturned, or the victim requests termination.
