All convictions except for crimes against a child, sex offenses, and certain DUIs, are eligible for sealing after a waiting period ranging from one to 10 years after discharge or release from prison if no convictions during waiting period or pending charges.  There is an explicit presumption in favor of sealing except for those dishonorably discharged from probation or parole, whose sealing is discretionary.  Sealed convictions may be denied and have no predicate effect.  Non-conviction records are presumptively eligible for sealing after the charges are dismissed, declined for prosecution (after the limitations period has run or 10 years), or a person is acquitted.  Victims of human trafficking may petition to have any non-violent conviction vacated and the record sealed.  Sealing is also available for conduct that was subsequently decriminalized.  There is broad authority to defer adjudication leading to sealing, and also authority for drug courts, mental health courts, and veterans courts all also leading to sealing.  Pardoned convictions may also be sealed. Most juvenile records are automatically sealed when the person turns 21, except that earlier sealing is available by petition after a three-year waiting period, and certain violent and sexual offenses are not eligible for sealing until the person turns 30.
