Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Subsection (f) of section 10-233d of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective July 1, 2014):
(f) (1) Whenever a pupil is expelled pursuant to the provisions of this section, notice of the expulsion and the conduct for which the pupil was expelled shall be included on the pupil's cumulative educational record. Such notice [, except for notice of an expulsion based on possession of a firearm or deadly weapon as described in subsection (a) of this section,] (A) may be expunged from the cumulative educational record by the local or regional board of education if such board determines that the conduct and behavior of such pupil in the years following such expulsion warrants an expungement, or (B) shall be expunged from the cumulative educational record by the local or regional board of education if a pupil graduates from high school, except as provided for in [subdivision (2)] subdivisions (2) and (3) of this subsection.
(2) In the case of a pupil for which the length of the expulsion period is shortened or the expulsion period is waived pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection (c) of this section, such notice shall be expunged from the cumulative educational record by the local or regional board of education (A) if the pupil graduates from high school, or (B) if the board so chooses, at the time the pupil completes the board-specified program and meets any other conditions required by the board pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection (c) of this section, whichever is earlier.
(3) In the case of a pupil who has been expelled based on possession of a firearm or deadly weapon, as described in subsection (a) of this section, in grades kindergarten to eight, inclusive, the local or regional board of education may expunge from the pupil's cumulative educational record the notice of the expulsion and the conduct for which the pupil was expelled if such board determines that the conduct and behavior of such pupil in the years following such expulsion warrants an expungement.
