Senate Bill 1707 amends the Family Code to remove the requirement that an application be filed before a juvenile court may seal a person's juvenile records. The bill removes the requirement that a court hold a hearing before sealing the records and instead requires the court to give the prosecuting attorney notice before the records become eligible for sealing and authorizes the court to hold the hearing if requested by the prosecuting attorney.
