HB 981 amends §17-17-12 and §35-3-37 of the O.C.G.A. It allows
individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors and felonies who have not been
arrested for any further criminal offenses and who have completed the terms of
his/her sentence to petition the court in which the conviction occurred to
restrict access to criminal history record information. It also requires that
the prosecuting attorney notify the victim of the date, time, and place of any
court proceedings related to a petition for record restriction. |
