Requires a court to automatically issue an expungement order, subject to certain exceptions, if: (1) all pending charges or allegations against a person are dismissed; (2) the person is acquitted or the conviction or true finding is vacated; (3) one year has passed since allegations were filed against a juvenile and the state is not pursuing the case; or (4) the person is arrested for a crime and no charges have been filed within 180 days.
