Enrolled Bill Summary

            House Bill 1415 amends the Government Code to prohibit, on or after an applicable period, a criminal justice agency from releasing a person's criminal history information regarding a deferred adjudication and exempts the information from public information requirements. The bill provides that a person is authorized to have the records exempted from public information requirements only if the person is not convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication community supervision for any offense other than an offense under the Transportation Code punishable by a fine only, and it prohibits a person who is required to register as a sex offender from having the records exempted. After the records are exempted, the bill provides that a person may deny the occurrence of the arrest and prosecution unless the information is being used against the person in a subsequent criminal proceeding.
