HB 205 (Ahern) was passed by its final committee of reference on Thursday. The proposal would provide for automatic expungement of a juvenile's first-time misdemeanor after the offender completes a diversion program. The bill was amended to also include discretionary use of civil citations for adults. FCCB staff expressed support for the measure during the committee hearing.
Cureently, companion measures in the Senate differ significantly from the House bill.
