This division relates to the 2 expungement of records of certain misdemeanor offenses. 3 The term “expunged” means the court’s criminal record with 4 reference to a deferred judgment or any other criminal record 5 has been segregated in a secure area or database which is 6 exempted from public access. 7 A person shall not receive an expungement pursuant to the 8 bill unless all court costs, fees, fines, and restitution and 9 other financial obligations ordered by the court or assessed by 10 the clerk of the district court have been paid. 11 The division provides that upon the application of a 12 defendant convicted of a misdemeanor, the court shall enter 13 an order expunging the record of such criminal case, as a 14 matter of law, if the defendant has established that more than 15 eight years have passed since the date of the conviction, 16 the defendant is not the subject of a protective order or 17 a no-contact order, the defendant has no pending criminal 18 charges, the defendant has not been subsequently convicted of 19 or granted a deferred judgment for a criminal offense, other 20 than a simple misdemeanor conviction under Code chapter 321 or 21 of a similar local ordinance, and all court costs, fees, fines, 22 and restitution and other financial obligations ordered by the 23 court or assessed by the clerk of the district court have been 24 paid. 25 The division strikes the provision allowing for the 26 expungement of a local ordinance violation that arose out of 27 the same transaction or occurrence of a conviction under Code 28 section 123.46 (consumption or intoxication in public place). 29 The division does not apply to the following misdemeanor 30 offenses: simple misdemeanor convictions under Code sections 31 123.46 (consumption or intoxication in public place) or 32 similar local ordinances and 123.47(3) (alcohol consumption 33 by persons under legal age) or similar local ordinances, 34 because expungement procedures already exist for both 35 -25- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 25/ 41

However, the one 30 application may request the expungement of records relating 31 to more than one misdemeanor offense if the misdemeanor 32 offenses arose from the same transaction or occurrence, and the 33 application contains the misdemeanor offenses to be expunged. 34 The division provides that the expunged record under the 35 -26- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 26/ 41
S.F. 2382 bill is a confidential record exempt from public access under 1 Code section 22.7 but shall be made available by the clerk of 2 the district court upon court order. 3 The division also provides that after receipt of notice from 4 the clerk of the district court that a record of conviction has 5 been expunged, the record of conviction shall be removed from 6 the criminal history data files maintained by the department of 7 public safety if such a record was maintained in the criminal 8 history data files. 9 The division provides that the supreme court may prescribe 10 rules governing expungement procedures applicable to criminal 11 cases pursuant to the division. 12 The division applies to misdemeanor convictions that occur 13 prior to, on, or after July 1, 2018. 14 DIVISION II —— ROBBERY. This division modifies the criminal 15 offense of robbery in the first degree to include circumstances 16 when a person commits a robbery with a simulated firearm or 17 simulated explosive. Currently, a person commits robbery in 18 the first degree when the person purposely inflicts or attempts 19 to inflict serious injury, or is armed with a dangerous weapon. 20 Robbery in the first degree is a class “B” felony. A person 21 convicted of a class “B” felony shall also be denied parole or 22 work release until the person has served at least 70 percent of 23 the sentence pursuant to Code section 902.12. 24 The division defines “simulated firearm” to mean a device 25 which is not a firearm, but which is expressly represented to 26 be a firearm, or an object which is not a firearm but which 27 is impliedly represented to be a firearm and which under the 28 circumstances would lead a reasonable person to believe it to 29 be a firearm. 30 Under the division, a simulated explosive means a device 31 which is not an explosive, but which is expressly represented 32 to be an explosive, or a device which is not an explosive but 33 which is impliedly represented to be an explosive and which by 34 its appearance would lead a reasonable person to believe it to 35 -27- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 27/ 41
S.F. 2382 be an explosive. 1 The division provides that a person serving a sentence for 2 a conviction for robbery in the first degree for a conviction 3 that occurs on or after July 1, 2018, shall serve between 50 4 and 70 percent of a 25-year class “B” felony sentence prior 5 to being eligible for parole or work release. In determining 6 when the person is first eligible for parole or work release 7 within such parameters, the sentencing court shall base its 8 determination upon all pertinent information including the 9 person’s criminal record, a validated risk assessment, and 10 the negative impact the offense has had on the victim or 11 other persons. The division provides that a person serving 12 a sentence for a conviction of robbery in the first degree 13 for a conviction that occurs prior to July 1, 2018, shall 14 be denied parole or work release until the person has served 15 between one-half and seven-tenths of the maximum term of the 16 person’s sentence as determined by the board of parole based 17 upon the person’s criminal record, a validated risk assessment, 18 and the negative impact the offense has had on the victim or 19 other persons. Under current law, such a person sentenced to 20 confinement is required to serve at least 70 percent of the 21 25-year maximum class “B” felony sentence prior to becoming 22 eligible for parole or work release. 23 The division does not modify the earned time provisions 24 related to the commission of robbery in the first degree, as a 25 person who commits robbery in the first degree is eligible for 26 a reduction of sentence equal to fifteen eighty-fifths of a day 27 for each day of good conduct by the person under Code section 28 903A.2. 29 Under current law and the division, felonious robbery is 30 also classified as a “forcible felony” under Code section 31 702.11, and a person convicted of felonious robbery is 32 prohibited from receiving a suspended or deferred sentence or 33 deferred judgment pursuant to Code section 907.3. 34 The division repeals the offense of robbery in the third 35 -28- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 28/ 41

S.F. 2382 court to send a copy of the order and a notice of the conviction 1 to the DOT. The division strikes Code section 901.5(10) 2 revoking a defendant’s driver’s license for 180 days if the 3 defendant is sentenced for a controlled substance offense for 4 an offense under Code section 124.401, 124.401A, 124.402, or 5 124.403. 6 The division makes conforming Code changes to Code sections 7 124.412, 321.212, 321.215, 321.218, and 321A.17. 8 The division provides that a defendant’s driver’s license 9 suspended or revoked pursuant to Code section 901.5(10) prior 10 to the effective date of the division shall be reinstated if 11 the defendant is otherwise eligible for a driver’s license. 12 The division provides a contingent effective date specifying 13 that the division takes effect on the date the governor submits 14 to the United States secretary of transportation a written 15 certification that the governor is opposed to the enforcement 16 in Iowa of a law described in 23 U.S.C. §159(a)(3)(A) and a 17 written certification that the general assembly has adopted 18 a joint resolution expressing its opposition to the same, in 19 accordance with 23 U.S.C. §159(a)(3)(B). The division requires 20 the office of the governor to notify the Code editor upon 21 submission of the certifications. 22 DIVISION V —— THEFT, FRAUD, AND FORGERY REVISIONS. 23 THEFT OFFENSES —— CONSOLIDATION. The division creates new 24 Code section 714.2A relating to the consolidation of theft 25 offenses. The division provides that for purposes of charging 26 a person with theft, any conduct specified as theft in Code 27 section 714.1(1) through (10), constitutes a single offense 28 of theft embracing the separated offenses of theft known as 29 taking, misappropriation, theft by deception, possession or 30 receipt of stolen property, fraudulent conversion, check fraud, 31 theft from a public utility, unlawful access to a computer, 32 theft of video rental property, and other similar offenses 33 related to theft. An accusation of theft may be supported by 34 evidence that it was committed in any manner that would be 35 -34- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 34/ 41
S.F. 2382 theft under Code section 714.1(1) through (10), notwithstanding 1 the specification of a different manner of theft in the 2 complaint, indictment, or information, subject only to the 3 power of the court to ensure a fair trial by granting a 4 continuance or other appropriate relief where the conduct of 5 the defense would be prejudiced by lack of fair notice or 6 surprise. 7 DEFINITION OF FORGERY. The division amends Code section 8 715A.2(2) relating to forgery. Under the division, a person 9 commits forgery when the person possesses a writing that is or 10 purports to be a driver’s license, nonoperator’s identification 11 card, birth certificate, or occupational license or certificate 12 in support of an occupational license issued by a department, 13 agency, board, or commission in this state. A person who 14 forges such a document commits a class “D” felony. By amending 15 the definition of forgery, the division also changes the 16 circumstances under which an employer is subject to a civil 17 penalty for hiring a person who commits such a forgery, 18 pursuant to Code section 715A.2A (accommodation of forgery). 19 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS —— FRAUD OR BREACH OF FIDUCIARY 20 OBLIGATION. The division amends Code section 802.5 relating 21 to extending the periods of time a prosecution may be brought 22 against a person for any offense involving a material element 23 of fraud or a breach of fiduciary obligation. Under current 24 law, a prosecution may be brought within one year after 25 discovery of the offense by an aggrieved party or by a person 26 who has a legal duty to represent an aggrieved party and who is 27 not a party to the offense. The division specifies that such a 28 prosecution may be brought within five years. 29 DIVISION VI —— CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. 30 REFERENCE TO VICTIM IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDING. This division 31 creates new Code section 701.12 relating to evidence in a 32 criminal prosecution. Under the division, the prosecuting 33 attorney or a witness may refer to a person using the term 34 “victim” during any criminal proceeding including at trial, 35 -35- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 35/ 41
S.F. 2382 if there is sufficient evidence to support a finding that 1 the person referenced as the victim meets the definition of 2 a victim in Code section 915.10. A conviction shall not be 3 reversed based upon a reference to a person as the victim 4 during a criminal proceeding, if there is sufficient evidence 5 to support a finding that the person referenced as the victim 6 meets the definition of a victim in Code section 915.10. 7 DEFENDANT RIGHT TO APPEAL. The division amends Code section 8 814.6(1) by prohibiting the right to appeal to a defendant who 9 has pled guilty to a criminal offense except this prohibition 10 does not apply to a defendant who pleads guilty to a class “A” 11 felony. The right to appeal means that an appellate court 12 cannot deny a defendant’s statutory or constitutional right to 13 have the defendant’s case reviewed on appeal. 14 The division amends Code section 814.6(2) by specifying that 15 discretionary review by an appellate court applies to an order 16 denying a motion in arrest of judgment on grounds other than an 17 ineffective assistance claim. Under current law, discretionary 18 review applies to an order suppressing or admitting evidence, 19 an order granting or denying a motion for a change of venue, 20 an order denying probation, simple misdemeanor and ordinance 21 violations, and an order raising a question of law important to 22 the judiciary and the profession. Discretionary review is the 23 process by which an appellate court may exercise its discretion 24 to review specified matters not subject to appeal as a matter 25 of right. 26 INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL CLAIMS ON APPEAL. The 27 division amends Code section 814.7 relating to an ineffective 28 assistance claim on appeal in a criminal case. The division 29 prohibits an ineffective assistance claim being raised and 30 decided on direct appeal from the criminal proceedings. Under 31 current law, such a claim may be raised on direct appeal from 32 the criminal proceedings if the record at the trial level is 33 sufficient. Generally, an ineffective assistance of counsel 34 claim is raised on appeal by a criminal defendant alleging 35 -36- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 36/ 41
S.F. 2382 the defendant’s attorney was so incompetent it deprived the 1 defendant the constitutional right to assistance of counsel. 2 APPEALS FROM THE DISTRICT COURT —— GENERAL VERDICT. 3 The division creates new Code section 814.28 relating to 4 general verdicts. When the prosecution relies on multiple 5 or alternative theories to prove the commission of a public 6 offense, a jury may return a general verdict. If the jury 7 returns a general verdict, the division specifies that a court 8 shall not set aside or reverse such a verdict on the basis 9 of a defective or insufficient theory if one or more of the 10 theories presented and described in the complaint, information, 11 or indictment is sufficient to sustain the verdict on at least 12 one count. 13 GUILTY PLEAS —— CHALLENGES. If a defendant challenges a 14 guilty plea based on an alleged defect in the plea proceedings, 15 the division provides that the plea shall not be vacated unless 16 the defendant demonstrates it is more likely than not that the 17 defendant would not have pled guilty if the defect had not 18 occurred. The burden applies whether the challenge is made 19 by motion in arrest of judgment or in a challenge on appeal. 20 Any provision in the Iowa rules of criminal procedure that are 21 inconsistent with this provision shall have no legal effect. 22 POSTCONVICTION RELIEF —— RECORDS. The division creates new 23 Code section 822.10A relating to postconviction procedure. The 24 division provides that the court file containing the conviction 25 for which the applicant seeks postconviction relief shall be 26 part of the record in any action under Code chapter 822. Upon 27 the filing of an application for postconviction relief pursuant 28 to Code section 822.3, the clerk of the district court shall 29 make the underlying criminal file accessible to the applicant, 30 county attorney, and attorney general. If the criminal file 31 records are not available in electronic format, the division 32 requires the clerk of the district court to convert the records 33 to an electronic format and make the records available to the 34 applicant, county attorney, and attorney general. 35 -37- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 37/ 41
S.F. 2382 POSTCONVICTION —— RELIEF. The bill strikes a provision that 1 requires the respondent to an application for postconviction 2 relief, to file an answer to the application with relevant 3 portions of the record of the proceedings being challenged, if 4 the applicant fails to file the application without the record 5 of the proceedings being challenged. 6 DIVISION VII —— STATE AND COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER DEATH 7 REPORTS AND INVESTIGATIONS. Currently, the report of an 8 investigation by the state medical examiner or county medical 9 examiner and the record and report of an autopsy shall be 10 received as evidence in court or other proceedings, except that 11 statements by witnesses or other persons and conclusions on 12 extraneous matters included in the report are inadmissible. 13 The division provides that the report of an investigation made 14 by the state medical examiner or county medical examiner shall 15 be admissible in court including any findings of the state 16 medical examiner or county medical examiner and any information 17 provided by a county attorney or law enforcement agency, if 18 the information is otherwise admissible under the Iowa rules 19 of evidence. 20 The division provides that in formulating findings and 21 conclusions regarding the cause and manner of death, the state 22 medical examiner or county medical examiner shall be allowed 23 to rely upon and include in the report of an investigation 24 any information provided to the medical examiner by a county 25 attorney or law enforcement agency. 26 Additionally, the state medical examiner or county 27 medical examiner may also rely upon and consider statements 28 by witnesses or other persons for purposes of developing a 29 clinical history of the decedent that preceded death when 30 formulating findings and conclusions on the cause and manner of 31 death. A court shall not exclude a medical examiner opinion 32 as the cause of death on the basis that the examiner has 33 considered out-of-court statements in forming that opinion, and 34 such an opinion shall not constitute reversible error. 35 -38- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 38/ 41
S.F. 2382 The division also specifies that in lieu of conducting 1 its own investigation, the state medical examiner may rely 2 exclusively upon the findings of the county medical examiner, 3 county attorney, or a law enforcement agency. 4 DIVISION VIII —— CRIMINAL PENALTIES. 5 POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. Currently, if a 6 person commits a first offense possession of marijuana, the 7 offense is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for 8 not more than six months or by a fine of not more than $1,000, 9 or by both. If a person commits a second offense possession 10 of marijuana, the person commits a serious misdemeanor, and if 11 a person commits a third or subsequent offense possession of 12 marijuana, the person commits an aggravated misdemeanor. 13 The division decreases the criminal penalty for a first 14 offense possession of marijuana offense from an offense 15 punishable by imprisonment for not more than six months or 16 by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by both, to a simple 17 misdemeanor punishable by confinement for no more than 30 days 18 or a fine of at least $65 but not more than $625 or by both. 19 The division makes convictions for violations in any other 20 state count as a previous offense if the violation in the other 21 state substantially corresponds with possession of controlled 22 substance violations in this state, thus making a person with 23 a conviction in another state more likely to be subject to 24 enhanced penalties for possession of a controlled substance 25 in this state under Code section 124.401(5), as amended by 26 the division. The division specifies that the court shall 27 judicially notice the statutes of other states which define 28 offenses substantially equivalent to possession of a controlled 29 substance. 30 HOMICIDE BY VEHICLE. The division provides that a person 31 commits a class “C” felony when the person unintentionally 32 causes the death of another when exceeding the speed limit by 33 25 miles per hour or more, in violation of Code section 321.285 34 (speed restrictions), 321.290 (special restrictions), 321.293 35 -39- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 39/ 41
S.F. 2382 (local authorities may alter limits), or 321.295 (limitation 1 on bridge or elevated structures), if the death of the other 2 person directly or indirectly results from such a violation. 3 This new provision does not apply to a member of a public 4 safety agency, as defined in Code section 34.1, performing 5 official duties. 6 Currently, a person who violates Code section 321.285 7 commits a simple misdemeanor or a simple misdemeanor punishable 8 as a scheduled fine under Code section 805.8A, a person who 9 violates Code section 321.290 or 321.293 commits a simple 10 misdemeanor, and a person who violates Code section 321.295 11 commits a simple misdemeanor punishable as a scheduled fine of 12 $50. 13 ARSON IN THE FIRST DEGREE. The division requires an 14 offender who commits the criminal offense of arson in the first 15 degree to serve 50 to 70 percent of a 25-year class “B” felony 16 sentence prior to being eligible for parole or work release. 17 Under current law, such an offender is sentenced to confinement 18 for 25 years but is eligible for parole upon entering prison. 19 At the time of sentencing, the division provides that the 20 court determine when a person convicted of arson in the first 21 degree first becomes eligible for parole or work release within 22 the parameters of 50 to 70 percent of the 25-year sentence, 23 based upon all pertinent information including the person’s 24 criminal record, a validated risk assessment, and the negative 25 impact the offense has had on the victim or other persons. The 26 division also makes arson in the first degree a category “B” 27 sentence under Code section 903A.2, in effect increasing the 28 length of the sentence by reducing the amount of earned time 29 such a person is eligible for during confinement from one and 30 two-tenths of a day for each day of good conduct to fifteen 31 eighty-fifths of a day for each day of good conduct. 32 JUROR SERVICE AND DONATIONS. The division relates 33 to jurors, including donation of juror compensation or 34 reimbursement, jury manager authority to excuse or defer 35 -40- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 40/ 41
S.F. 2382 jurors, and public access to juror information. 1 The division provides that with approval by the chief judge 2 of the judicial district, a jury manager may excuse or defer 3 jurors in accordance with Code section 607A.4, 607A.5, or 4 607A.6. Code section 607A.4 provides minimum qualifications 5 for jury service. Code section 607A.5 provides certain 6 conditions for automatic excuse from jury service. Code 7 section 607A.6 provides certain conditions for discretionary 8 excuse from jury service. The division provides that a jury 9 manager may defer, but not excuse, persons from juror service 10 for reasons beyond those enumerated in these Code sections. 11 The division provides that a juror may donate 12 compensation or reimbursement for juror service to a supreme 13 court-designated state fund or charitable organization. The 14 division requires the state court administrator to establish 15 separate accounts for the deposit of juror-donated moneys 16 depending upon the state fund or charitable use or organization 17 designated by the juror. The division limits the number 18 of state funds or charitable uses or organizations that 19 moneys may be donated to by the juror. The division permits 20 juror donations to be made to the victim compensation fund 21 established in Code section 915.94 or to the court technology 22 and modernization fund in Code section 602.8108. The division 23 permits juror donations for the following charitable uses 24 or organizations: domestic violence shelters or services; 25 specialized courts related to drug treatment, operating while 26 intoxicated offenses, or mental health; pro se litigants; or 27 the Iowa interest on lawyers trust account. 28 The division provides that public access to juror and 29 prospective juror information is limited. The division 30 provides that prospective juror addresses and dates of birth 31 are confidential and are not subject to disclosure without an 32 order of the court. 33 -41- LSB 5257SV (4) 87 jm/rh 41/ 41
