37    attempted  or  committed  since the termination of the court's jurisdic-

50    revealed only upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Copies  of  the
51    order  shall  be  sent to each agency or official named in the order. Upon the
52    entry of the order the proceedings in the petitioner's case  shall  be  deemed
53    never  to have occurred and the petitioner may properly reply accordingly upon
54    any inquiry in the matter. Inspection of the records may thereafter be permit-
55    ted only by the court upon petition by the person who is the  subject  of  the


                                          3

 1    records  or  by any other court of competent jurisdiction, and only to persons
 2    named in the petition.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 09170

The purpose of this legislation is to amend Section 20-525A, to omit
the term moral turpitude as the determining factor for expungement
of a juvenile's record. The term as defined is vague and there is
much disagreement over its meaning. To replace it and give more
specific direction as to what can and cannot be expunged from a
juvenile's record is a list of felonies that cannot be expunged from
a record.

                           FISCAL NOTE

There will be no impact to the General Fund.
