HB 990 seeks to amend the Government Code to adjust eligibility criteria and timelines for orders of nondisclosure of criminal history records. It provides reduced waiting periods for misdemeanors and certain state jail felonies following completion of sentences or community supervision. Additionally, it allows courts to include offenses arising from the same transaction in nondisclosure orders under specified conditions. It introduces new procedures for individuals with multiple eligible convictions to petition for nondisclosure.
