Expunged records (GRS-2226)

Description

A person who has been convicted of a crime may petition the court for an order to expunge records of arrest, investigation, detention, or conviction (UCA 77-40-103) (2010). To "expunge" means to seal or otherwise restrict access to records held by the agency that relate to the petitioner's arrest, criminal investigation, detention, and conviction (UCA 77-40-102 (7))(2010). A successful petitioner is responsible for distributing the court order to all affected agencies, so the agency may seal the records. An expunged record includes the sealed records along with the court order.
