  7  893.135, or a violation enumerated in s. 907.041 may not be

  8  expunged, without regard to whether adjudication was withheld,

  9  if the defendant was found guilty of or pled guilty or nolo

10  contendere to the offense, or if the defendant, as a minor,

11  was found to have committed, or pled guilty or nolo contendere

12  to committing, the offense as a delinquent act. The court may

13  only order expunction of a criminal history record pertaining

14  to one arrest or one incident of alleged criminal activity,

15  except as provided in this section. The court may, at its sole

16  discretion, order the expunction of a criminal history record

17  pertaining to more than one arrest if the additional arrests

18  directly relate to the original arrest. If the court intends

19  to order the expunction of records pertaining to such

20  additional arrests, such intent must be specified in the

21  order. A criminal justice agency may not expunge any record

22  pertaining to such additional arrests if the order to expunge

24  record pertaining to more than one arrest. This section does

25  not prevent the court from ordering the expunction of only a

26  portion of a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest

27  or one incident of alleged criminal activity. Notwithstanding

28  any law to the contrary, a criminal justice agency may comply

29  with laws, court orders, and official requests of other

30  jurisdictions relating to expunction, correction, or

31  confidential handling of criminal history records or

  5  such an order, the department must notify the issuing court,

  6  the appropriate state attorney or statewide prosecutor, the

  8  agency of the reason for noncompliance. The appropriate state

  9  attorney or statewide prosecutor shall take action within 60

10  days to correct the record and petition the court to void the

11  order. No cause of action, including contempt of court, shall

12  arise against any criminal justice agency for failure to

26  and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution and not

27  available to any person or entity except upon order of a court

  1         943.059  Court-ordered sealing of criminal history

  2  records.--The courts of this state shall continue to have

  3  jurisdiction over their own procedures, including the

  4  maintenance, sealing, and correction of judicial records

  5  containing criminal history information to the extent such

  6  procedures are not inconsistent with the conditions,

  7  responsibilities, and duties established by this section. Any

  8  court of competent jurisdiction may order a criminal justice

  9  agency to seal the criminal history record of a minor or an

10  adult who complies with the requirements of this section. The

11  court shall not order a criminal justice agency to seal a

12  criminal history record until the person seeking to seal a

13  criminal history record has applied for and received a

14  certificate of eligibility for sealing pursuant to subsection

15  (2). A criminal history record that relates to a violation of

19  907.041 may not be sealed, without regard to whether

20  adjudication was withheld, if the defendant was found guilty

21  of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to the offense, or if the

22  defendant, as a minor, was found to have committed or pled

23  guilty or nolo contendere to committing the offense as a

24  delinquent act. The court may only order sealing of a criminal

25  history record pertaining to one arrest or one incident of

26  alleged criminal activity, except as provided in this section.

27  The court may, at its sole discretion, order the sealing of a

28  criminal history record pertaining to more than one arrest if

29  the additional arrests directly relate to the original arrest.

30  If the court intends to order the sealing of records

31  pertaining to such additional arrests, such intent must be

  6  portion of a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest

  7  or one incident of alleged criminal activity. Notwithstanding

  9  with laws, court orders, and official requests of other

10  jurisdictions relating to sealing, correction, or confidential

11  handling of criminal history records or information derived

14  sealing a criminal history record may be denied at the sole

15  discretion of the court.
