This Act eliminates the five-year waiting period for a person who has successfully completed the Probation Before Judgment (“PBJ”) program, and the two-year waiting period for a person who has successfully completed the First Offenders Controlled Substances Diversion Program (“CSDP”), to obtain an expungement of the arrest and conviction records relating to that offense. This Act clarifies that offenses for which records have been expunged do not have to be disclosed as arrests. This Act also corrects for what appear to be inadvertent omissions in the amendments to the expungement statutes that were passed during the prior legislative session and corrects inconsistencies between the Family Court and Superior Court expungement statutes.

An Act To Amend Titles 10 And 11 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Records Of Arrest And Prosecution.
