A person who is 21 years old or younger may be eligible for an expedited expungement where the crime is one specifically enumerated in the statute (i.e. possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia, distribution of small quantities of marijuana or hashish, etc.)
Under these circumstances a youthful offender can apply for an expungement within one year after the defendant completes probation, parole or a jail term and pays all fines which ever occurs last. The opportunity will be lost if a defendant has: (a) violated a term or parole or probation; (b) a prior or subsequent conviction or (c) a prior or subsequent criminal accusation that was dismissed because of a diversionary program.
