This bill modifies the sealing of juvenile court records in Iowa, including timelines and conditions for sealing.

The bill revises the process for sealing juvenile court records in Iowa. It mandates that courts hold hearings to seal records two years after the last official action or when the person reaches 18 years old. It allows for sealing if the person has not been convicted of certain offenses and if sealing is in the best interests of the person and the public. The bill also requires courts to seal records when dismissing a petition alleging delinquency and directs the supreme court to establish guidelines for sealing records from cases that began before the bill's effective date.
