records; lifetime injunctions

Purpose

Prohibits a person who is subject to a lifetime injunction from applying
for or obtaining destruction of juvenile court and Arizona Department of Juvenile
Corrections (ADJC) records.

Background

A person who was adjudicated delinquent or incorrigible may apply for
destruction of the person's juvenile court and ADJC records once the person
reaches 18 years old, if certain statutory conditions are met. The applicant
must attest that the person: 1) has not been convicted of a felony offense; 2)
does not have a pending criminal charge; 3) has completed probation or been
discharged from ADJC; 4) has paid restitution in full; 5) is not under juvenile
court jurisdiction; 6) is not required to register as a sex offender; and 7)
has paid or modified all fines. The juvenile court may order destruction of
records if it finds the statutory criteria are satisfied. An alternative
pathway allows a person who is at least 25 years old to apply for destruction
of records under similar but modified criteria, including a determination that
destruction would further the rehabilitative process (
A.R.S.
� 8-349
).

A lifetime injunction may be imposed against a person who is convicted
of: 1) a dangerous offense that is a felony; 2) a serious offense or violent or
aggravated felony; 3) sexual offenses or sexual exploitation of children; 4)
aggravated assault by way of strangulation or domestic violence; 5) voyeurism;
or 6) stalking. The injunction prohibits the defendant from contacting the
victim for the duration of the defendant's life and remains in effect unless
modified or dissolved by the court under statutory standards. The injunction is
separate from and in addition to any criminal sentence imposed and is
enforceable as a court order (
A.R.S.
� 13-719
).

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund
associated with this legislation.

Provisions

Prohibits a person who is subject to a lifetime injunction from applying
for or obtaining destruction of juvenile court and ADJC records.

Requires
an applicant to attest, and the juvenile court to find, that the person is not
subject to a lifetime injunction before juvenile records may be destroyed.

technical changes.
