April 30, 2015 posted by Steve Brownstein
The Alaska House has passed legislation that would remove certain criminal case records from an online court records system.
The vote was 34-5. Notice of reconsideration was given, meaning that HB 11 could be voted on again before advancing to the Senate.
The bill calls for the removal from the online court system records from criminal cases in which a defendant was acquitted on all charges, all charges against a defendant were dismissed and not dismissed as part of a plea bargain or a defendant was acquitted on some charges and others were dismissed.
The provision noting the dismissal could not be part of a plea bargain was agreed to on the floor.
