What it does

Existing law authorizes the trial court clerk to destroy court records, as defined, after notice of destruction, if there is no request and order for transfer of the records, upon the expiration of specified time periods after final disposition of the case. Existing law generally provides that court records of a criminal proceeding relating to a misdemeanor violation may be destroyed after 5 years, but that court records of a criminal proceeding relating to a misdemeanor violation for speed contests, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or driving under the influence and causing bodily injury, may be destroyed after 10 years.
