Relating to the expunction of arrest records and files by a statutory county court.
SB 2673 allows statutory county courts to expunge arrest records for offenses within their jurisdiction, expanding access to record removal. It specifically clarifies that these courts may only expunge records related to offenses they can try (e.g., misdemeanors), not felony cases. The bill also requires expunction orders to be issued within 30 days of acquittal or a pardon, with the process handled by either the trial court or the county’s district court. This applies to individuals who were acquitted, had charges dismissed with state attorney recommendation, or received a pardon.
