SB 1142 This act allows the sealing of court records when
the court imposes a suspended sentence and the person
successfully completes any court-ordered probation. Once the
records are sealed or closed, the arrest, charges, conviction or
guilty plea cannot be used for impeachment purposes. A person
will not be guilty of perjury if, in a later case, the person
fails to disclose the existence of the sealed record.
