Automatic expungement of arrest records in certain voidable arrest situations.

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to provide for the automatic expungement of records of arrest in certain situations. Specifically, it mandates the expungement of records when an arrest is voidable, meaning the individual was released without charges, the arrest was determined to be without probable cause, or proceedings against the individual were dismissed. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to destroy or return copies of arrest records, mark official records as expunged, and seal them.
