No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code to authorize an individual who as a minor was placed under arrest for a violation of this code, and who was not convicted of the violation, to apply to the court in which the individual was charged to have the records of the arrest expunged. It is assumed any costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
