(a) In any subsequent prosecution of the defendant for any other offense, the prior conviction may be pleaded and proved and shall have the same effect as if probation had not been granted or the accusation or information dismissed.

(b) The order does not relieve him or her of the obligation to disclose the conviction in response to any direct question contained in any questionnaire or application for public office, for licensure by any tribal, state or local agency.

(c) Expungement does not permit a person to own, possess, or have in his or her custody or control any firearm or prevent his or her conviction should they be in violation of any order prohibiting firearms; said expungement does not cancel that requirement.

(d) Dismissal of an accusation or information underlying a conviction pursuant to this section does not permit a person prohibited from holding public office as a result of that conviction to hold public office.

(e) The Office of Tribal Prosecutor shall be notified when a petition for expungement has been filed within Yurok Tribal Court. Relief shall not be granted under this section unless the prosecuting attorney has been given 15 days’ notice of the petition for relief. [Ord. 81, amended, 1/6/2023; Ord. 63, adopted, 12/6/2019.]
