House Committee Favorably Reported
Summary
HB 285 amends the law governing the Georgia Crime Information Center so that records showing a person was involuntarily hospitalized are automatically removed after five years, or sooner if a court grants relief. A person can petition the court that handled the hospitalization, present evidence, and, if the court finds they are not a danger, order the data deleted from the background‑check system. The bill seeks to protect individual privacy while preserving public safety.
