Expungement of Underage Drinking Charges in Pennsylvania
An undeage age drinking citation does more than cost you a fine and a loss of your driving priviliges in Pennsylvania. A record for underage drinking (possession, transportation, purchase, or consumption of alcohol by a minor) can have an impact on howa potential school or employer can view you and whether it is a redflag for alcohol abuse or addiction issues. Take the smart step and seek to have your prior record for underage drinking expunged or cleared from your record in Pennsylvania as soon as you turn 21. Contact Ciccarelli Lawyers for more information on getting your Pennsylvania underage drinking record cleared.
§ 9122. Expungement.
(a) Specific proceedings.—Criminal history record information shall be expunged in a specific criminal proceeding when:
(3) a person 21 years of age or older who has been convicted of a violation of section 6308 (relating to purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of liquor or malt or brewed beverages) petitions the court of common pleas in the county where the conviction occurred seeking expungement and the person has satisfied all terms and conditions of the sentence imposed for the violation, including any suspension of operating privileges imposed pursuant to section 6310.4 (relating to restriction of operating privileges). Upon review of the petition, the court shall order the expungement of all criminal history record information and all administrative records of the Department of Transportation relating to said conviction.
This is NOT automatic, the defendant MUST file the petition with the Court of Common Pleas to start the process.
