Republican Sen. Keith Perry announced plans Tuesday to refile a bill that would broaden a juvenile's ability to expunge their arrest record in Florida.

This time, however, he expects the Governor's signature.

"We'll get it done," Perry told Florida Politics. "Absolutely."

Despite soaring through the Legislature without a single down vote, DeSantis vetoed the proposal (SB 274) in June citing public safety concerns. The measure is among the most expansive criminal justice reform efforts in decades.

"The unfettered ability to expunge serious felonies, including sexual battery, from a juvenile's record may have negative impacts on public safety," the Governor wrote.

Perry said the proposal will include new language without comprising the bill's biggest allure: 100% eligibility across the board.

The measure, he added, is already making its rounds in Tallahassee.

"I think we'll have language that will be acceptable to everybody," Perry said.

DeSantis' veto broke the hearts of many, including criminal justice reform activists.

In January, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement estimated roughly 27,000 minors would qualify for expunction under the measure.

Speaking Tuesday at the Senate Criminal Justice meeting, Vice Chair Jeff Brandes probed representatives of the Florida Sheriffs Association and Florida Police Chiefs Association regarding their position on the bill.

The PCA last Session were among the few opponents to the measure and voiced concerns to the Governor in an oppositional letter.

"There is a middle ground, and we were willing to talk about that," said Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter. "We just think that in all scenarios, we need to try to make sure we vet through and find language that fits everything."

Currently, state law only allows minors to expunge first-time misdemeanors if they complete a diversion program. The Senate proposal would've expanded juvenile expunction laws to include felonies and other arrests beyond a minor's first offense.

Christian Minor, executive director of the Florida Juvenile Justice Association, touts the measure among the most important bills this cycle.

"Despite any past misinformation, I am both confident and optimistic that all stakeholders can work together to pass a bill which will provide opportunity for over 27,000 of Florida's youth," Minor said.

The 2022 Legislative Session begins Jan. 11. It will mark Perry's fourth consecutive attempt to carry the proposal to law.
