HB 134 An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Expungement Of Adult Arrest Records

Delaware 147th General Assembly

An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Expungement Of Adult Arrest Records.
HB-134


About HB-134

This Bill makes the statutory scheme for expungement of adult criminal offenses more efficient and, by doing so, will require less Superior Court resources. By including the successful completion of “probation before judgment” within the definition of “terminated in favor of the accused” the legislation improves an inadvertent drafting oversight. Previously, all requests for expungement of probation before judgment cases had to be presented to the court via the discretionary expungement process, regardless of nature of the charge, simply because “probation before judgment” was not specifically included within the definition of “terminated in favor of the accused.” Section 1 addresses cases before the Family Court and Section 2 addresses all other cases.
