Existing law provides that, upon successful completion of a drug diversion program or deferred entry of judgment program, the court may order the sealing of court and arrest records of the diverted charges where the interests of justice would be served, as specified. This bill would provide that in any case where a person is arrested and successfully completes a prefiling diversion program administered by a prosecuting attorney in lieu of filing an accusatory pleading, the person may petition the superior court that would have had jurisdiction over the matter for an order to seal the records of the arresting agency and related court files and records, and the court may issue that order if the court finds that doing so will be in furtherance of justice. The bill would provide that the Department of Justice shall continue to be able to maintain and disseminate any records or documents received or maintained by it, as authorized by law.
