HOUSE BILL 149
RS30314 / H0149
The Clean Slate Act would permit those with relatively minor non-violent, non-sexual offenses to petition for sealing of their public records provided they have gone at least five years since the completion of the sentence without any subsequent offenses. Only one offense, or offenses arising from a single incident or transaction would be eligible for sealing. Should there be a subsequent felony conviction, the exemption from disclosure would be revoked. Should the sealing remedy be granted, the record would still be available to law enforcement and prosecutors for any purpose and could still be used to enhance future penalties. The person seeking to have the records shielded from disclosure would bear the costs of legal counsel in seeking such relief.
The Idaho State Police estimates that a technical records specialist would be required to develop a system for annotating records at a one-time cost of $100,000, with an ongoing cost of $7,500 per year. The courts anticipate a one time cost of approximately $100,000.
