Iowa HSB167 modifies the sealing of juvenile court records, allowing for certain records to be sealed under specific conditions.

Iowa HSB167 introduces changes to the sealing of juvenile court records. The bill mandates that courts seal records for individuals who were the subject of a petition alleging delinquency, provided they meet certain criteria. Specifically, the court must hold a hearing to determine if sealing the records is in the best interests of the person and the public. The bill also requires courts to seal records for individuals who were adjudicated delinquent for offenses that would be considered aggravated misdemeanors or felonies if committed by an adult, unless the state objects.
