SB3098 amends Hawaii law to allow expungement of arrest records for those convicted of a violation, not a crime.

SB3098 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow expungement of arrest records for individuals arrested for or charged with a crime but later convicted of a violation. This change follows the Hawaii Supreme Court's decision in Barker v. Young, which clarified that a "violation" is not a "crime" and thus eligible for expungement. The bill specifies that eligible individuals can request the return of their fingerprints and photographs taken during the arrest.
