Deletion Of Child's Name From Criminal Justice Records

Concerning the deletion of children's identifying information from criminal justice records released to the public.
Session:
2023 Regular Session
Subject:
State Government
Bill Summary

Current law requires that a child's name and identifying information be deleted from criminal justice records released to the public if the child was a victim of certain enumerated sexual offenses. The bill removes the limitation that a child be a victim of an enumerated sexual offense for the child's name and identifying information to be deleted from a criminal justice record released to the public. The bill also requires that the name and identifying information of a child who witnesses a criminal offense be deleted from criminal justice records released to the public.

Under current law, a criminal justice agency must make the notation "CHILD VICTIM" on a criminal justice record involving a child victim when the child victim's name is disclosed during proceedings related to the criminal justice record or when the child victim or child victim's guardian requests the notation. The bill requires that a criminal justice agency make the notation "CHILD WITNESS" on a criminal justice record involving a child witness under the same circumstances.
