Which option is correct regarding expunction costs in municipal court?

• A. Thirty dollars.
• B. Forty dollars.
• C. Ten dollars.
• D. Twenty dollars.

Answer: (A)

Expunction costs are a fixed processing fee charged by the court to handle a petition to seal or expunge a record. This fee covers the administrative work of updating records and processing the request. In this municipal court context, the standard amount for the expunction fee is thirty dollars, which is why that option is the correct one. The other amounts don’t fit this specific expunction fee in this scenario, as they may represent different fees or amounts used in other jurisdictions or for other services.
