HB 2497 provides for the automatic expunction of arrest records for public safety employees who successfully complete a public safety employees treatment court program. The bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require that, upon completion of the program, the court must automatically expunge the individual's arrest record unless the person has previously received an expunction through the same process. The law applies retroactively, meaning it covers individuals who completed such a program before, on, or after the effective date.
