(a) Records Subject to Expungement. Except for records relating to proceedings that have become public under C.R.C.P. 232.28 or records relating to proceedings that result in agreements under C.R.C.P. 232.12(a)(6), all records relating to proceedings that were dismissed must be expunged from the files of the Regulation Committee and the Regulation Counsel five years after the end of the calendar year in which the dismissal occurred. (b) Effect of Expungement. The Regulation Committee and the Regulation Counsel must respond to any general or specific inquiry concerning the existence of a proceeding the records of which have been expunged by stating that no record of a proceeding exists. (c) Extension of Time to Retain Records. The Regulation Counsel may apply in writing to the Regulation Committee for permission to retain files and records that would otherwise be expunged under this section 232.30 for an additional period of time not to exceed three years. After giving the respondent in question notice and an opportunity to respond in writing, the Regulation Committee may grant the request on a finding of good cause. Through the same procedure, the Regulation Committee may grant additional extensions.
