Staff Analysis of the Legislation

HB 679 seeks to add a new paragraph to Code Section 35-3-37 of the O.C.G.A. in reference to review of individual’s criminal history record information. If an individual was arrested for an offense prior to age 18 and convicted for such offense, the individual may petition the superior court of the county in which the conviction occurred for restricted access to their criminal history record information. This is only allowed if the individual’s offense did not involve physical injuries or property damage; the individual successfully completed the terms of their sentence; and the individual has not been arrested for at least three years, excluding non-serious traffic arrests.
