Expungement of arrest records for individuals convicted of a violation instead of a crime.

This bill amends Hawaii law to allow for the expungement of arrest records for individuals who were arrested for or charged with a crime but were later convicted of a violation. The expungement process annuls, cancels, and rescinds the record of arrest. The bill also modifies the definition of terms used in the expungement process, such as "conviction" and "crime." The attorney general or their representative must deliver fingerprints or photographs of the person unless the person has a record of conviction or is a fugitive from justice.
