On granting an expungement motion the court must order the arrest records erased
What the document says“If the court grants a motion to expunge all records of an arrest for an offense under subsection (b), the court shall immediately enter an expungement order that directs that there be expunged from all official records all references to--”
On granting a motion to expunge, the court immediately enters an expungement order. It reaches all official records of the arrest of the movant for the offense, the institution of any criminal proceedings relating to the offense, and the results of those proceedings, if any. The subsection states the same effect as for a vacatur: the arrest is not to be regarded as an arrest under Federal law, and the movant is considered to have the status occupied before it.
What the document actually says“If the court grants a motion to expunge all records of an arrest for an offense under subsection (b), the court shall immediately enter an expungement order that directs that there be expunged from all official records all references to--”
When the judge says yes to erasing an arrest, the judge must act at once. An order to erase all records of the arrest goes out.
The same three kinds of record are covered. After that the arrest no longer counts under federal law. The person stands where they stood before it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
