35 from the date of termination of the continuing jurisdiction of the court or
36 after reaching age eighteen (18) years, whichever occurs later, petition the

32 wherein violence toward another person was attempted or committed since the
33 termination of the court's jurisdiction or his release from the juvenile cor-
34 rections center, and that no proceeding involving such felony or misdemeanor
35 is pending or being instituted against him, and if the court further finds to
36 its satisfaction that the petitioner has been held accountable, is developing
37 life skills necessary to become a contributing member of the community and
38 that the expungement of the petitioner's record will not compromise public
39 safety, it shall order all records in the petitioner's case in the custody of
40 the court and all such records, including law enforcement investigatory
41 reports and fingerprint records, in the custody of any other agency or offi-
42 cial sealed; and shall further order all references to said adjudication,
43 diversion or informal adjustment removed from all indices and from all other
44 records available to the public. However, a special index of the expungement
45 proceedings and records shall be kept by the court ordering expungement, which
46 index shall not be available to the public and shall be revealed only upon
47 order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Copies of the order shall be sent
48 to each agency or official named in the order. Upon the entry of the order the
49 proceedings in the petitioner's case shall be deemed never to have occurred
50 and the petitioner may properly reply accordingly upon any inquiry in the mat-
51 ter. Inspection of the records may thereafter be permitted only by the court
52 upon petition by the person who is the subject of the records or by any other
53 court of competent jurisdiction, and only to persons named in the petition.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14528
This bill is one of a series of bills that the Supreme Court has recommended
in its annual report to the Governor concerning defects or omissions in the
laws, as required under article V, section 25 of the Idaho Constitution.
Subsection (5) of Idaho Code 20-525A deals with expungement of juvenile
convictions under the Juvenile Corrections Act. It provides that expungement
may be ordered by the court in certain cases where the juvenile "has not been
adjudicated . . . for any of the crimes identified in subsection (2) of this
section . . .." However, because of an amendment to this statute in 2004, the
subsection that lists the offenses for which expungement is not permitted is
actually contained in subsection (4), not subsection (2). This bill would
make the technical correction of changing the reference in subsection (5) from
"(2)" to "(4)."
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no fiscal impact as a result of this legislation.
