Under existing law, if a court orders a record sealed, the proceedings recounted in the record are deemed never to have occurred for most purposes. (NRS 179.285) Although existing law generally deems a proceeding for which records have been sealed never to have occurred, existing law authorizes a court to consider any such proceeding in determining whether to grant a petition to seal records relating to a conviction of another offense. (NRS 179.295) Section 2 of this bill eliminates this authorization and instead prohibits a court from considering any such proceeding in determining whether to grant a petition to seal records relating to a conviction of another offense.
