(a) The department shall promptly expunge a person's name from the central registry if: (1) The report is determined not confirmed by the department, including after an administrative hearing conducted pursuant to chapter 17-1602; or (2) The family court determines that the report is not confirmed after: (A) A petition filed pursuant to section 587A-12, HRS, that was based on the allegations in the report, has been dismissed by order of the family court because the court did not find sufficient evidence based upon a preponderance of the evidence to assume jurisdiction pursuant to section 587A-5, HRS; or (B) A written court report with the disposition is submitted to the family court pursuant to a referral under section 586-10.5, HRS, and the family court finds that the facts supporting the confirmation were not proven by a preponderance of the evidence. (b) The family court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction for purposes of determining that a report was correctly confirmed under subsection (a) as long as the family court matter is pending. The person whose name is included in the central registry shall not be entitled to an administrative appeal hearing to contest the confirmation unless the family court dismisses or closes the related matter without making findings as to the facts supporting the confirmation.
