48 (4) COURT AUTHORITY.—
49 (c) The court may order the sealing of a criminal history
50 record pertaining to one arrest, adjudication of guilt, or one
51 incident of alleged criminal activity only, except the court may
52 order the sealing of a criminal history record pertaining to
53 more than one arrest or adjudication of guilt if the additional
54 arrests or adjudications of guilt directly relate to the
55 original arrest or adjudication of guilt. If the court intends
56 to order the sealing of records pertaining to such additional
57 arrests or adjudications of guilt, such intent must be specified
58 in the order. A criminal justice agency may not seal any record
59 pertaining to such additional arrests or adjudications of guilt
60 if the order to seal does not articulate the intention of the
61 court to seal a record pertaining to more than one arrest or
62 adjudication of guilt. This section does not prevent the court
63 from ordering the sealing of only a portion of a criminal
64 history record pertaining to one arrest, adjudication of guilt,
65 or one incident of alleged criminal activity.
